Service Description:
“Music Service” – Linda Forbes Brookfield
Description: ”Commitment and the season of Spring in Word and Song A special Music Video service – On the subject of Commitment with attention to Spring”
Why Do We Commit? To What or Whom Do We Commit? How Do We Commit? For each of us individually the answer is to be found deep within us. As a church family, isn’t it a whole collection of all these feelings? We care for each other – and our community – and our world. We reach out to spread love and caring to all we meet and extend a welcoming hand and (virtual) embrace to all who join us in any and all goings on at our church – physical and/or virtual. Today, Linda will present a number of videos and some spoken words to help all of us discover what commitment could mean to each of us.
