Sunday Service, 10am "Back For the Future" 11-28-21
There is plenty to criticize about our religious ancestors, the Pilgrims and Puritans. But there are also some things we can learn from their story. There is a Ghanaian proverb: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten." Learning from our ancestors is part of the spiritual work of Sankofa, which translates as “reach back and get it.” What helpful things can we find in our ancestors' story? -

Remembrance Sunday Service 10/31/21 at 10am
Our annual Remberance Service holds all that we love and all that we have lost. As the pandemic is fitfully subsiding, we take a moment to pause.

You are invited to bring pictures or tokens of loved ones you've lost over the last year. -
World Community, 10am Sunday Service 10-24-2021
World community with peace, liberty, and justice for all isn't just a beauty pageant answer. This principle helps us remember that our relationships go beyond our small corner of the world, and invites us to look deeper into one another's stories, not just our actions.

Spatial Relations, Sunday Service 10-17-2021
Ministers are often taught to look at the congregation from the balcony to see what is going on. Presidents look out over the country from the Oval Office. Astronauts look the entire earth as it floats through space. Distance certainly plays a role in relationships. Come, let's see how they all connect and what we might learn from them. The Chalice Choir will have a special Auction anthem for the service.
