Late summer is a deep peace. Fall is gathering, but it's behind the hill behind tomorrow. At the same time, this world is in a tangle and our hearts are in turmoil. All true and: Late summer is a deep peace.

Friends, It is Wednesday evening. We are making plans for a together, out-door service this Sunday at 9:30 at the church! While it is truly exciting, we also know that our whole Church-In-A-Box community can't gather. Some because of geographical distance, some in order to keep a safe quarantine. This isolation has created a strange new closeness and we will miss those who can't be with us at the church. We will record the parts of the service that we can and post it on the website, along with this service.

Mask up. Get down. Stay in touch.

Greetings WCCC,
Today's Lay Sunday is provided by members of the congregation. We are linking you to a Ted Talk with Andy Puddicombe, an English author, public speaker, teacher and former Buddhist Monk who offers a fun, compelling, and demonstrative talk called "All it Takes is 10 Mindful Minutes". Penny and Nerissa are providing music, Tom is reading from the Tao and Nerissa is offering Prayers.

We hope you are well, enjoying the slow slip of late summer into the season of butternut squash and cooler nights filled with beautiful cricket song!!

Best to all,
The Deacons

What a week!

Did I say that last week? I'll say it again next week, God willing. We have new music from Jack as  well as Laila and Jim. The Beatitudes and Prayers. A sermon in time of great loss and a rowdy recessional!

Love and summer
