The Ocean of Discovery

Water is universal and ever-changing, as we sail an ocean of discovery together. Celebrating Water Communion to begin our new church year, we mingle the waters of our lives to symbolize our gathering in beloved community. You may bring water home or summer travels, or use water we provide here.

Dedication

The Sanctuary is a sacred space, the heart center of this church. We gather in the Sanctuary to celebrate, to mourn, to shape our highest values and deepest commitments. On this day we dedicate this space, built with love and renovated with commitment, giving voice to our gratitude and to our hopes for the future.

On the Threshold

The time of Samhain and All Hallow’s Eve invite us to enter the space between the planes of existence. As the veil thins between this world and the next, we experience the mystery of unknowing and remember those who have gone before us. Halloween costumes are welcome and encouraged!

Renewal

The Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur mark a period of renewal, marked by repentance and atonement, the beginning of a new year. Let us consider how processes of covenant, relationship and renewal mark the patterns of our lives.

Authentic

In a world filled with challenge and change, it can be difficult to remain grounded in our authentic voice, our authentic presence in the world. Why is authenticity important, and how can we create a community in which each person’s authentic presence and voice are honored, as we share all our varied perspectives and experiences?

Don’t Be Afraid of Some Change!

Change is the only constant, as they say, and we live in a constantly transforming universe. How do we absorb the loss of leaving our old reality behind as a new one emerges? How do we navigate our way across the mysterious time and space between the old and the new? And how do we welcome new realities, adjusting in our own transformation as we go? Let us explore these timeless questions together.
