Home Page

The worship service next Sunday, Oct. 19, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Rev. Molly’s sermon will be “Make of It a Symphony.” The sound and fury blaring around us is fierce, and this nation is intensely polarized on purpose, to serve the interests of capital and authoritarian control. What would it take to make of our public life a symphony – multi-vocal, interdependent, free, and deeply beautiful? The service will include an Ingathering ceremony for new members.

Home Page

The worship service next Sunday, Oct. 12, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Rev. Molly’s sermon will be “What Do We Do with All this Rage?” 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.

Here’s what’s new on our website since last Sunday:

Home Page

The worship service next Sunday, Oct. 5, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Intern Minister Monica Clark-Robinson’s sermon will be “We Make, We Mend.” In every act of creation – whether through art, music, words, or the daily work of shaping our lives – we stitch back a bit of what has been torn. Creativity can be a spiritual practice of resistance, a way of joining our voices together to awaken hope, mend what is broken, and imagine new possibilities into being.

Jordinn Nelson Long, will preach on “Mapping Survival,” grounding us in our shared work of mapping our interdependence.

The worship service next Sunday, Sept. 14, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Join us as new Intern Minister Monica Clark-Robinson delivers the first sermon of her time with us, “Collective Flourishing: Lessons from the Three Sisters.” The practice of “companion planting,” which has been practiced by Native gardeners for thousands of years, has wisdom for all of us. How do we hold each other, nurture each other, lean on each other, so that we may all not only survive, but thrive?
