Nourishing Body and Soul - Final Summer Gathering

Join us Tuesday, August 8th, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Central Church for the final Family Liturgy Dinner, held in collaboration with First Church Ipswich. The theme for this gathering is ‘Service’. We will share a meal (salad and wrap extravaganza) and worship together, with liturgy, Bible stories, a children’s book and conversation. The service will include Communion and hand washing (symbolic of foot washing that Jesus offered to his disciples on Maundy Thursday). While parts of this evening will focus on families with young children; everyone is encouraged to attend and to participate. Join us for a delicious meal and creative worship service with the children!

Please RSVP Stacey at Stacey@centralnewburyport.org.
