We will host an in-person and virtual worship service on Sunday, July 17th at 10:15 am.

Some, if not all
The year was 2022. | They answered the phone call from Planned Parenthood where they had volunteered. They were being asked to staff the phone line. “I can do some of the hours, but not all.” | He woke up in his grief. He stared at the toaster waffles he had made. “I can eat some of them but not all.” | There are days when “some” is good enough. The fear of “all” can’t stop us from doing what “some” we can. In this service, we will explore how to know the “some” we can do even when we feel like we can’t do “all.”
