God, we thank you for each of your beloved ones.
Thank you for the gift of life.
Sunday, January 13 is birthday Sunday.
Some love birthdays!
Some allow them to pass with little fanfare.
Some of us gulp with the passing years.
Some can’t wait and count the days!
On Sunday, we join the Sunday School and celebrate the gift of life.
We thank God for the presence of one another in this Community of Faith.
Twelve cakes.
You sit with your birth month mates.
We will begin our worship upstairs in the sanctuary with a shorter worship service. We celebrate community formed in the waters of baptism. Then we join the Sunday School for cake and conversation.
How wonderful it is that a community of faith offers the opportunity to bring all ages together!
