"You are here. We are here."
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
This year, our worship arc invites us to re-locate ourselves in a time of disorientation, and to root ourselves in place and earth. Join us for a service introducing the arc and reflecting on what it means to deeply connect with and deeply love a place and its people.
Order of Service (when available)
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.
Sept. 6 Sermon Video
Rev. Molly riffed on Dolly Parton's anti-capitalist anthem "9 to 5" for her Labor Day weekend sermon titled "Barely Gettin' By." After enumerating how capitalism uses up our bodies and minds, she said, "We've got this dream, this memory, this certainty, that there is another way of living together with each other and the earth. ... We've got our own unruly bodies and untamed minds that show us."
