Also, if you wish to come up for only a blessing, please tell us when you approach, and we will bless you! If you are unable to come up for communion, tell the usher that you would like to receive communion at your seat, and someone will bring it to you. We hope you feel welcome here!

“To my SMLC family: Over the past months leading to and following the death of my beloved Mary, you more than ever have become for me the embodiment of Ps. 27:13. I offer my deepest thanks for uniting to movingly honor her life, and also for your continuing love, care, support, and empathy expressed in such a wide spectrum of ways, showing me the grace and face of Jesus in your ministry. I count myself immeasurably blessed to be a part of this compassionate Christian community.” Dick Sjoerdsma
