Upcoming First Sunday services

Alas, it has been a long time since I've updated this blog. And, alas, a couple events zipped by without proper attention. A busy life slowed a couple updates and then the effort to get caught up seemed too much.

We offer many thanks to Karen Poole who has worked behind the scenes preparing for each First Sunday worship over the past few years and who reluctantly must set those duties aside.

Bob Schoenhals announces the speakers at the next couple First Sunday services.

On May 6 Rev. Jeff Nelson will speak. I heard him at a recent Amy DeLong event where he recited some of the poetry he has written. It is both thought provoking and funny. Also that evening there will either be a celebration that General Conference removed the barriers that prevent LGBT folk from full service in the church or a mourning that the barriers remain. Fellowship at 6:00 and service at 6:30.

Also on May 6 there will be a DRUM leadership meeting to discuss who will take over the tasks that Karen Poole used to do. This meeting will be at 5:00 pm., prior to the fellowship time before the service.

On June 3 the speaker will be Rev. Bob Roth.

I will be heading to Tampa on April 30 to take part in the Common Witness Coalition during the second week of General Conference. I'll be working on the blog team. I think my postings will appear here where you can find Coalition news. I'll try to post to this DRUM blog once I know for sure.
