Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.

STORYTIME

The beloved “Hymn of Promise” poetically reminds us of the many simple things in our lives that hold far
more beauty and potential than what our eyes can see. In the bulb, there is a flower. In the seed, an apple
tree. In cocoons, a hidden promise – butterflies will soon be free! This week, we continue our “Storytime”
series with another classic children’s book: Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As this ravenous little
insect eats and eats and eats, there is far more happening than what we can see on the surface. This little
caterpillar’s big appetite is preparing him to become who he’s made to be: a beautiful butterfly.

We, too, hunger for many things. We, too, are made to grow, change, and be transformed. And like that little
caterpillar, God is up to far more than what we can comprehend. Join us this week as we celebrate the
sacrament of baptism, as we commission our Zimbabwe Mission Team, and as we celebrate that God is up to
far more than what our own eyes can see.
