Oct. 12, 2025 – “What Do We Do with All This Rage?” – Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
So much is being destroyed, on purpose, by those who care nothing for all they are stomping underfoot. Perhaps you, like me, find yourself swallowed by anger at the cruelty of it all. And perhaps, like me, that anger scares you a bit. What do we do with all this rage? Let’s feel it out together.

After a centering time in the Sanctuary at the beginning of worship, the children will go downstairs for their regular classes. Free nursery care for infants to 3-year-olds will be available until 11:45 a.m. Read about our Youth Religious Education program.
