10:30 a.m. to Noon – Youth Religious Education
We offer an R.E. program for pre-schoolers through junior high school students, as well as nursery care for infants. Older children attend the first portion of the 10:30 a.m. worship service in the Sanctuary with their families before going to their classes or other scheduled activities.
On May 22, all the children except the Potter Class will enjoy R.E. classes in the adjacent city park, weather permitting. The Potter Class will meet indoors.
11:30 a.m. – Coffee Hour – in-person and online
We have resumed in-person coffee hour When weather allows, we will have coffee set up after the service outdoors and the greeting area doors propped open. We invite folks to move between the space outdoors or indoors according to their safety needs and comfort levels. On rainy Sundays we will set up coffee in the greeting area after the service and invite folks to spread out into the sanctuary for plenty of space. Coffee hour also is available online via Zoom.
We observed the 99-year-old tradition of the “Flower Communion” at our worship service on May 8, 2022. In her reflections,”Weeds Are a Social Construct,” Rev. Molly said the word “weeds” is a social concept because it is “mostly another name for native plants that defy the colonial desire for control.” She went on to say, “Our bodies are like the wildflowers, so different, so beautiful…. Here we are proclaiming there is no wrong way to bloom, no wrong way to be a body.”
