"Extravagant Worth"
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
Join us to think about our theology of inherent worth and how it lives in our extravagant generosity and love with one another. We will also launch our pollinator-themed Annual Giving Campaign and hear powerful music from our choir.

We invite you to join us.
