Worship Service with Flower Communion

Worship service followed by fellowship and garden planting at 11 a.m.

We’re planning a joint service with the Unitarians for May 22 with their tradition of Flower Communion. This service represents what each person brings to our community and celebrates diversity. It’s also a chance for us to plant our favorite flowers in the new church landscaping (weather permitting) and to take home flowers to enjoy. Be thinking about what bedding plants or fresh flowers you would like to bring to that service.

We are hosting in-person worship in our building and live streaming on Facebook each Sunday morning at 10 am.

You may receive a printed copy of each Sunday’s service either by mail or email. Contact us at grandcitiesfog@gmail.com to be added to our distribution list.

Love Feast

On Tuesday, June 24 we take our turn serving the Love Feast for Grand Cities neighbors.  The feast takes place at Zion United Methodist Church on 24th Ave S at 10th St and is a free meal for about 200+ people. 

We’ll need folks to cook in the afternoon (our traditional menu of sloppy joes, coleslaw, and beans).  Then we’ll need LOTS of folks to serve from 5-7 at Zion UMC.  We finish serving at 6:30 and then need a cleanup crew to vacuum and do dishes.  This is a great time to invite friends to help and let them meet the Family of God folks.  Please sign the clipboard to let us know you’re able to help.
