Creation Celebration

Two things seldom happen in worship: listening for the word of God in the Creation, and listening for the questions of kids in the words of a puppet. Both are happening on Sunday. Worship will allow for the reading of the entire first story of creation -- the one about the seven days and seven nights -- with breaks for music between each day. Day one will be read in Hebrew. Day seven will be followed by a piano/organ duet featuring a pianist who will make his Carnegie Hall debut in June. We'll sing a couple of verses from some grand old tunes with a theme of nature.

Then, just when a sermon ought to be preached, a puppet will ask a bunch of questions of the pastoral team. Hope we can answer them! We're looking forward to this Creation Celebration!

P.S. If you are curious about our "City Vespers," please consider this your personal invitation to discover it for yourself. Just come in the front door of Skinner Memorial Chapel. We start at 6:30 pm, each Thursday. If you are a few minutes late, that's okay. More information on the church website: www.uccholyoke.org
