Even without a message, you know what to do in a voicemail: tell them who you are and what you want. While it seems an easy task, lots of folks have tried to answer those questions without a lot of success.We’ll reflect on the changes that this congregation has gone through during the nearly three years of Developmental Ministry.
Everyone is welcome to take part in a celebration of kindness! We’ll find ways to increase the kindness in our lives: kindness to ourselves, to those close to us, to the people we interact with but don’t really know. Glitter may be involved. Singing and laughing will surely be part of it. Come one, come all!
There’s been much talk about winners and losers in this election season. Losers is a epithet hurled those who don’t measure up in some ways. But it can also be a claim of honor. How is that possible? Come and find out!
James Baldwin was a significant voice of his generation. His insights into the life of African-Americans and into the life of a gay man in the ’50s and ’60s help us understand the present. His words will guide us in considering the legacy of the Civil Rights movement, and our current day.
Of all the prophets of the Hebrew Bible, Johah is the most unexpected. Resistant, angry, and betrayed by God. We’ll reflect on how we all might be a little bit (a lot?) like him.
Few people have the true gift of seeing the future. We can hardly imagine day to day what will come. At the start of this new year, we pause to look back upon the past year, and set our intentions for the coming year.
Come along at 10:30 for an informal gathering for brunch and carols. Bring along a dish to share, and your singing voice! Hosted by Rev. Linda.
All are welcome for an evening service of stories and songs and candlelight. Suitable for all ages.
Pageant Without Preparation
Join us for a non-traditional pageant of the very traditional Christmas story. The whole community will be invited to take part in this interactive and joy filled telling of Jesus’s birth. Since there’ll be a manger, we’ll need animals, so all animal costumes are encouraged. We’ll have some special opportunities for a few lucky people, too, and a possible surprise or two. Our pageant-without-preparation is a must experience holiday extravaganza!
What happens when we reach back to our history and discover that the story we thought we knew isn’t quite what we imagined? The peaceful table with Natives and Pilgrims united in harmony reappears each year, yet we know that the story is far darker. How shall we claim and own both the light and the dark?
