Summer is well underway in Grosse Pointe, but we are not taking a vacation from Sunday morning worship!
On this Sunday morning, Rev. David Eardley will challenge us to consider a Christian’s response to the status quo. Pianist Sara Sessions will provide special music as the Chancel Choir begins its summer break.
Our in-person worship service in the sanctuary and the livestream begin at 9:30 am Sunday.
You are always welcome at this church!
