 Disclosure Day (new movie) Discussion on Sunday, July 12th, post service. Let’s have a lively discussion about this thought-provoking film, which creates a story about humanity’s first verified contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Beyond that, it raises deeper questions about faith, empathy, human dignity, and what it means to truly connect with God’s creation.

Prayer for the Mission of the Church

Everliving God, whose will it is to restore all people with God and one another through your Son Jesus Christ: Inspire our witness to him, that all may know the power of his forgiveness and the hope of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
