Sit Around the Campfire
Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • July 18, 2023
Let's Gather
Join us on Sunday as we continue our camp theme and ponder the warmth and beauty of the campfire. There is something enchanting about the flickering flames, the crackling wood, and the cozy atmosphere of the fire in the open air. Whether you are on a beach with a roaring bonfire, in a forest with a small fire, or in your own backyard with a fire pit, sitting around a fire invites you to have meaningful conversations and connect with others. And as our friend Dr. Christopher Lynn has shown, this experience can also have positive effects on our health and wellbeing.
Don’t miss this opportunity to pull up a chair and sit around the campfire* with us this Sunday.
*We will be indoors, so we won't have a real campfire.
Together, Let's See What's Next
Welcome, IYG, our next Big Give Recipient!
