The Power of Sabbath
10:50 AM — Prelude Music with the “Friends” Band
11:00 AM — Celebration Service
Talk Title: “The Power of Sabbath”
Speaker: Rev. Bridget McCann
Sabbath can conjure up images of strict religious observance, no play, and fear of retribution for breaking the rules. But, in today’s fast-paced world of instant news, endless social media posts, and cell phones that make us available 24-7, sabbath may be just what we need. Let’s take a fresh look at the idea of sabbath, and the many benefits it has to offer us in our hectic lives.
Inspirational Music from

Throughout the greater Pacific NW and beyond, vocalist and songwriter Lauri Jones has been stirring a deep spiritual knowing in her listeners for decades. On CD Baby: “…her voice is ‘rich and sensuous with amazing clarity and presence… it melts the heart.’” You’ll experience her authenticity and your own delight in equal measure as you enjoy this true artist expressing her gifts!
