The Channing Connection:
Worship Services
March 2008
This year, worship and children's religious education is centered in
the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures.
How do these stories contribute to our culture -- UU and secular
-- and help us live lives of faith?
March Services (10 a.m. at Northfield Elementary School unless otherwise noted):
March 2: To the Saints at Ellicott City.

As we head in to stewardship time, let's pause and really appreciate what we have as a religious community. We are thriving! Reverend LaMar

This will be our annual Good Friday Communion Service at Bethany Lane. Reverend LaMar will lead worship, with Christy Guenther providing cello music to complement the readings. Join Reverend LaMar at 5:30 for a discussion around Unitarian Universalist understandings of communion.
March 23: Blossoming Forth -- Easter Magic!

March 30: Esther's Banquet
The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates the heroism of Queen Esther, who used her beauty and her wiles to save her people from annihilation. It is an exciting story with a universal message . . . what can we learn? Reverend LaMar
