August 7th
"Abigail: Offering Hospitality & Brokering Peace"
8:30am Outdoor Chapel and 10:30am In-person worship
(10:30am is also Live Streamed)
We don't hear much about Abigail in the Bible except for this one story in 1 Samuel 25 where she manages to prevent a slaughter from happening - using the customary tradition of hospitality, owning actions that caused bad blood, and using her good sense. What can we learn from her example as she serves to settle the dispute between her husband Nabal and David?
Join us either in person or on livestream as we see what this "B Side" story has to teach us and as we gather at the table together for Communion. There will be special music provided at both of our services by our Music Director, Toni Sullivan.
