Labor Day Weekend
“Mutual Aid, Labor and Faith”
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
Can the church be a site of alternate economy? On this Labor Day weekend, join us to explore the long history of interaction between mutual aid efforts, labor organizing, and communities of faith.
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.
Aug. 17 sermon video
Lay leader Kim Wade told the story of "The Night of the 37 Campfires" during our worship service on Aug. 17, 2025. She participated in a neighborhood effort on a chilly April night to keep the blossoms in a peach orchard from freezing by lighting fires throughout the orchard. In the process, she discovered what she calls "radical neighboring."
