Join Us at the “Hugging Service”

Ever wake up on Sunday morning, and just feel like you need a hug? Then we have the answer for you!

If you have ever attended the 8:30 service at St. Dunstan’s, you may know that this is a usually small and intimate service. We all come to the altar rail, or sometimes even stand immediately around the altar, for all of the communion service. When we pass the peace, we make sure that we each greet every other parishioner who is there that morning. And, as we passed the peace this morning, we realized that we are a group of “hugging” folks – and that when you come to the 8:30 service, you are very likely to receive a hug from every other member of St. Dunstan’s who is worshipping with you.

So, if you wake up early next Sunday or any other Sunday, and feel the need for a quiet, more intimate morning with God and your fellow parishioners, or if you just feel like you need some hugs, please join us at the 8:30 service. I guarantee you will leave feeling loved – both by God and by your fellow St. Dunstanites!
