Naming...Blessing...Connecting! As part of our Jubilee Summer, we’ve turned the old “Thrift Shop” space into the Jubilee Summer Space, creating a place where ideas and creativity are exchanged. We’re asking people to write down the names of people they know and the gifts they have, things they care about, and things they are willing to do. The walls have been lined with paper, and markers are available, so stop by and post your ideas!
