Sunday, May 19Service: Is It Sunday Yet?

Our worship service this Sunday takes a look inward at what worship itself means to a church community, and to ours in particular.  It’s also a great time to thank those who help get worship together each Sunday, which is…(shhhh!)...all of us.  Stay after church for our Congregational Meeting from 12-2.  Let your voice be heard in Sugarloaf’s hopes and plans!

Our annual Water Communion ceremony will be held on September 8th.  Each year, Sugarloafers bring the water we've collected over the summer from our noteworthy experiences - some local, some far-away, some exciting, some everyday - and we join them together in the same way that we come back together in the fall for another year at Sugarloaf.  So don't forget to collect your water this summer!  (Don't worry - if you DO forget, we'll have virtual water for you to use.)
