Chalice Circles Signups for 2024-2025
Welcome to the church nurturing spirit and service – a liberal religious voice lighting a moral beacon in Central Missouri. In the spirit of courageous love, we forge a community of radical welcome and deep connection that moves us together to heal the world. We invite you to join us.
“How to Have an Enemy” was Rev. Molly’s sermon topic on October 20, 2024. She turned to the work of peace activist and Mennonite theologian Melissa Florer-Bixler to explore how to think about care when it comes to those who do not and will not care for others, or who actively harm others.
