ON SITE & ZOOM. Rev. Barnaby led us on ways of seeing how we can do this, assisted by Abi Sessions with a prelude of wonderful piano playing by Ronnie Romano accompanied by fun slide show of our Pride Parade participation. We shared our plate with Campaign Legal Center. Children began in worship and then went to Fenn House for the start of new Religious Exploration groups.
