Shaping Our Story: We Have a Choice

On the eve of the presidential inauguration and of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause to ask, What story will we help shape for our country and our community? How do we embody our values as we participate in the work of the world?

A Fresh Take on an Old Story

Due to inclement weather, this Sunday’s Service will be offered online only. We invite you to join us via Zoom at the link above.

Creating a Web to Hold Us: Being Present with Others

Almost all of the December holidays have a similar theme at their very core: Belonging to a healthy, loving community replaces fear with hope and purpose. Where and how do we create micro- and macro-communities of care by showing up for others? And what joy will be reborn in us when we do? Come celebrate the gifts of this season simply through showing up for each other this week!

Yet we know that both our inward- and our outward-turning are inextricably woven together. This Sunday we practice this weaving, recognizing the grounding that all our chaotic feelings can offer, celebrating new members, and thanking our Safety and Security Team for their ministry of care. Where will we direct our care this week?
