It was great to have Pastor Laura Hardin Becker back reading stories and preaching with us today after her sabbatical! The kids were all excited to see her, and so were the adults! Grilling on the Grounds following worship was a great way to reconnect with her and one another.

We had a great Grilling and Chilling today after worship: Grilling on the Grounds and then Chilling out as we ate Lunch on the Linoleum. Over 60 folks of all ages stayed around to fellowship together around tables.

Thanks to the Welcoming Committee everyone who helped make it happen, especially Ron as he simultaneously grilled hot dogs and discussed the SCOTUS overruling the Chevron decision 🤣⚖️

Grilling on the Grounds and Lunch on the Linoleum!

We are looking forward to this Sunday, June 30, where we will Grill on the Grounds following worship, but eat Lunch on the Linoleum INDOORS. It’s just gonna be too hot to setup outside and to eat outside. But, you are still invited to dress as casually as you wish for worship, even as if we were eating outdoors.

We will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs (plant-based options available!!). Chips, beverages, air conditioning, and other sides & desserts will be provided. Just show up!

“This is yet another lesson we can learn from rainbows. They don’t exist in the sky. You can’t touch them or locate them. They are optical illusions. We see them based on where we’re standing. Rainbows reflect light; they also reflect us—our own subject positions, our own ways of seeing and making sense of the world.

“The rainbow reminds God to look for beauty in the very people he’s tempted to dismiss as irredeemably evil, to remember that he takes pride in all of his creatures.

““Take another look,” the rainbow tells all of us—God included. “There’s more going on here than you originally assumed.””

What is the rainbow in Genesis a reminder of? This year during Pride month, God seems to have a lot of rainbow defenders online. But they aren’t getting the Bible story quite...
