Share a Remembrance
We are living in troubled times and we all need care from time to time. You can light a candle, request pastoral care, find support from the care team, or honor our community’s joys and sorrows. Do not bear the burden alone. We are here for each other.
Candles of Remembrance
Sharing Remembrances in Worship works best when we share our souls’ yearnings with the worship leader before Sunday morning. If you would like to have this Sunday’s worship leader share your request aloud during the pastoral prayer, you may do so by submitting the form. This will also light a candle on our website.
Our Joys and Sorrows
Edith Nielsen
This is a candle of joy; Karen Nielsen Fried writes this also for gratitude and amazement for her mother Edith Nielsen who will celebrate her 100th birthday on June 19th surrounded by family who will come in from Denmark, China, Denver, Minnesota and all the other states in the United States. Edith has had a rich and full life raising six kids and now she has eight grandchildren and five great grands. A lifelong Danish citizen, she was a student in Copenhagen during World War II and part of the resistance during the Nazi occupation.
Carolyn McDade
Carolyn McDade, composer of Spirit of Life, a hymn we will be singing today and other well-loved hymns; Carolyn will be 90 on June 19th and is living in Massachusetts. We celebrate her songs and activism and justice-seeking music.
