Class advisor Rev. Siobhan Comisky says the students have been working collaboratively on a sermon answering the question, “Are We the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For?” They are to discuss what their ministries will look like in the current and post-COVID 19 world—and how we will all, as a community, minister to each other, as well. Celebration starts at 10:30 a.m. This will be another Zoom presentation, so look for the link toward the end of the week in the Pebble Announcements and on the home page of the PebbleHillChurch.org website
