Rick Spradlin is a frequent speaker at our Sunday services. His last talk, “The Sanctity of Questioning,” earned him a standing ovation. Now we’re looking forward to seeing how he’ll apply his non-traditional approach to “sanctity” to the institution of marriage.

Aug. 6 also s the first Sunday of the month, so we’ll have a potluck hot-dish lunch after the service. If you’re a visitor, just bring your appetite. We’ll have plenty of food, and you’ll have a great opportunity to learn what we’re all about.

Rick also a member of our Board of Directors, he’s a past president of the Fellowship and most recently he has served as vice president for Adult Religious Education.
