Welcoming and Being Welcomed | Elizabeth Chown Lafreniere | June 28, 2026

<p>Today, you’ll hear a retrospective of gratitude from lay leader Elizabeth Chown Lafreniere on the last Sunday before the arrival of our new lead minister, and before we begin two months of sharing worship with our local cluster of United Churches. As she looks back over the past year of ministry at Cedar Park United, Elizabeth says, “Our reward for welcoming and being welcomed is God’s grace: the joy of knowing and sharing that we are loved by God.” </p><p>Hear the scriptures readings from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/hRkMO7DIk1E?si=5DtxsMT8xul57iAX&t=778"><u>livestream recording</u></a>.</p><p>Connect with Cedar Park United: </p><p>❤️<a href="https://cedarparkunited.org/%E2%81%A0"> <u>⁠Find out more about this community⁠</u></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFVOV2JWX3V2T0ctOXRBUGNCUkVBOUhYVGplQXxBQ3Jtc0tuRFQ1NE90LVRmSHcwOVlqVGg0QkE0aFBldWRzWTlSWUl0bHV0S3JTNEhta28xVk8zSFFkalBVOVVmNzVHM1lmcXlpQ1M3RHZLZ0Z2Zm0tOFpsS3B3aEhKWVE4LVVXVjhiQmo1U1Z5N3RERkRzVHc1cw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcedarparkunited.org%2F&v=6jCZdFt7R6U"><u>⁠ ⁠</u></a></p><p>🧡<a href="https://cedarparkunited.org/donate%E2%81%A0"> <u>⁠Make a donation⁠</u></a></p><p>💛<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cedar_park_united"> <u>⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠</u></a></p><p>💚 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cedarparkunitedchurch/"><u>Follow us on Facebook ⁠</u></a></p><p>💙 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CedarParkUnited"><u>Subscribe to our YouTube channel ⁠</u></a></p><p>💜<a href="https://us1.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=c8e4449130de11862a0f6db76&id=7effb539e9"> <u>⁠Subscribe to Sunday Soul Food⁠</u></a></p>
