The Sermon-in-YOU Series – “Flying Through Space on a Rock” – Steve Scott
Astronomers estimate there are between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Our Sun – one of an estimated 100 billion to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy – orbits the center of the galaxy at a speed of 483,000 miles per hour along with its planets, including Earth. We are literally flying through space on a rock. What do these facts imply about how puny humanity should behave?

10:30 a.m. – Youth Religious Education – R.E. at the Park
Our summer children’s programming is all about giving children an opportunity to connect with each other and with our adult R.E. volunteers in a relaxed way, giving friendships and fun a chance to flourish. This takes the form of Park R.E., where, weather allowing, we will head to Shepard Boulevard Park after a centering time in the worship service for some fun and games. On rainy days (or extra hot days!), we will stay inside with Legos, board games and craft supplies for some indoor fun.
Free nursery care for infants to 3-year-olds will be available until 11:45 a.m. Read about our Youth Religious Education program.
