“Summertime, and the living is easy….”

Worship Changes While we maintain our full worship schedule in the summer months, with services at 8, 9, and 11 a.m. and Contemplative Prayer at 7 p.m., we take a more relaxed approach. We strive for simplicity and beauty in worship, and take more time for conversation with each other.

Christian Education for all ages takes a summer break, as does Children’s Chapel.  Child care for infants and toddlers is available throughout the morning.

Work Trip to Guatemala This summer we will work in the village of San Lucas Toliman on the shores of beautiful Lake Atitlan.  Recently hit by fierce rainstorms we will help with the clean-up and aftermath as they try and rebuild roads, recover their coffee crop and return to some semblance of normal. Watch for our blog in August.

First Nations Kitchen, located at All Saint’s Indian Mission at 31st and Longfellow, has begun a weekly Sunday night supper for the people in their neighborhood. We will prepare food, pick up bread, set tables, serve and cleanup. Three people are needed for food preparation from 1:30 to 3:30, two for bread pickup and table setting (2:45 to 4:00), three for serving beginning at 5:00 pm and two more for dishwashing/cleanup (servers and dishwashers can rotate positions, or dishwashers/cleanup come at 6:00). Food is served to 60 to 110 people from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. You must be 14 or older to work at FNK.
