SUMMARY:Worship Service - “LESSONS FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS”
DESCRIPTION:When we think of elves\, dwarves\, kings\, and wizards\, we often think of childish fairytales or video games. But the works of J.R.R. Tolkien not only defined genres—they also brought with them many lessons we can turn to\, especially in difficult times. Themes of friendship\, hope\, courage\, and even a bit of humor run through his stories. Join Worship Associates Pedro Lopez and Tam Paquette in exploring what a saga inspired by Anglo-Saxon mythology can teach us. \n  \n\n\n\n\nClick Here for the Zoom Link!
