The Pursuit of 'Truthiness,' and Five New Members

Our worship theme this month is "Truth," and Rev. Molly explored the meaning of truth in an era of "truthiness" and spin in a sermon titled, "The Rigorous Pursuit of... Truthiness?" The sermon text is available on the Sermon Archive page.

We also welcomed five new members during a New Member Ingathering.

the congregation to sing along. The words of the
chorus are: "Somos el barco, somos el mar,
yo navego en ti, tu navegas en mi.
We are the boat, we are the sea,
I sail in you, you sail in me."
