Intergenerational Sunday is a time for us all to appreciate what folks of every age have to offer and receive in our community, and we are doing this so that our youth know from experience what a healthy spiritual community looks like when they are old enough to seek one out for themselves. The service will be kid AND adult friendly, and hopefully nurture the inner child in us all. No Sunday School downstairs on April 28—let's learn, practice, share, and love together.
