SUMMARY:Worship in the Park is Back!
DESCRIPTION:Welcome Back Worship in the Park!\n\nThis summer we will be returning to Lunt Park for the 9am outdoor worship service. You can expect the same 45 minute\, laid-back\, child-inclusive worship service under the trees and in the summer breeze that we have held for decades. However\, we’ll be pairing down some of the items we bring out to the park in order to make this an easy lift for our volunteers and staff. We will provide a handful of chairs for visitors\, but we ask that you bring your own chair or blanket to sit on. There will also be a small amount of song books available because we are hoping that you’ll share with your neighbor or use the digital bulletin with music provided. Finally\, we need a reliable volunteer crew every week to help with setup and take down of our outdoor AV system and the other items for worship.\n\nYou may sign up here to help with set up and take down: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CA4AA2BA0FF2-62321265-worship\n\nYou may sign up here to read scripture this summer at either worship service: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CA4AA2BA0FF2-63133182-summer
