The sacred celebration of Imbolc welcomes the first wave of spring, the deep stirrings of life beneath the frozen ground. The Imbolc festival honors the pagan goddess Brigid, strengthening our connection with the world of nature and welcoming the nourishing fertility of the lands that support our life.

Human identity is fundamentally shaped by our connection with family and community as our “tribe;” we know who we are by our knowledge of to whom we belong. Belonging supports us in community even as our tribal identities may create exclusion and even persecution of those who are defined as “other” in our worldview. How can we help to shape a world of belonging for all, where people learn to live in peace across our tribal identities?

Sing and Share

On this glad Christmas morning, we gather at 10:15 in Fellowship Hall for a potluck Christmas brunch, sharing stories, singing familiar carols in the warmth of community.

As we begin Transgender Remembrance Week, we highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we join with community partners like the Kaleidoscope program as allies in the struggle for justice.

is the source of life, and in our annual ritual of Water Communion we return from our journeys in a world united by water. Those attending in person are invited to bring water from wherever your summer wanderings took you, and those participating from home are invited to prepare a tiny water ceremony at home, as we celebrate the flow of love that uplifts and encourages our lives.
