Come in, come in! Children and elders, middlers and teens, singles and doubles and in-betweens, strong eighty-fivers and streetwise sixteens, for we are a part of the fam’ly.– Jim Manley
Come in, come in and sit down, but only if you really want to! If you’d rather sing a song, play a game, paddle a canoe, read a book, dance in a circle, knit a shawl, beat a drum, enjoy a cup of tea, sculpt with clay, try the ukulele, gaze at clouds, listen to a story, build a campfire, slurp a popsicle, watch a video, write a poem, walk the labyrinth, paint a picture, eat a muffin, or have a nap, you can do that too!
Sunday Morning Live (SML) welcomes children, teens and adults, teachers and preachers, individuals, families and groups to enjoy an experience of playful and intentional intergenerational community. Using a variety of modern tools and engaging activities, and led by a resourceful team of worship leaders and musicians, we will explore the core values of our faith together. SML provides an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to develop healthy and holy relationships with others, with creation and with that Spirit which gives life to all.
It’s Sunday morning and everybody’s welcome to come on in!
