Easter Sunday: All Ages Service
Easter is about love, loss and redemption. So, is the Velveteen Rabbit. Join us for this All Ages Reader’s Theater telling of the 1921 classic.
Speaker: Rev. Kathryn Bert
Together We Rise: Rise and Respond!
As we welcome new members into the church, we consider the values of this congregation and their importance in our lives. How do we respond to a world in need? How can we make the world a better place?
On Congregational Polity: How we embody our freedom and our connection.
Building on last week’s worship, we’ll explore how the way we govern ourselves is a part of our theological framework. This shorter worship service will be followed (at 9:15) or preceded (11:00am) by a Congregational meeting (10:15am) on the budget. Please join us at 9:15 or 10:15 this week.
Freedom from Evil
The term “collective liberation” has taken hold as we recognize the complicated and related oppressions that plague our societies. “Liberation theology” is the name of a particular theological framework for achieving collective liberation. This service will unpack some of these terms so that we might free ourselves and our world.
The Holocene Extinction
On our final Sunday exploring evil, let’s take on the big stuff!
The Root of All Evil: a sermon about capitalism, evil, and money.
The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson may be our text. The author dedicated the book to his doctoral supervisor who wrote: “It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.”
May Nothing Evil Cross this Door
When the hymnal, Singing the Living Tradition, was published in 1993, the hymn by that title was the most sung hymn by our congregations (thus printed as the first hymn in the book). What did we mean by it when it was sung prior to 1993 and what do we mean by it now?
The Authority of Rosa Parks
Because of snow, we didn’t get to celebrate the nonviolent movement for Civil Rights in America on January 14th, so will do it this morning. The children will attend Religious Education classes after the Story for All Ages.
Finding Our Center
What do we mean when we say, as we have been this month, that “by our own authority, we change the world?” How do we find that authority? How do we find the center from which we can speak our truths?
Candelight Christmas Eve
We will hold a single candlelight service on Christmas eve, with music, stories, and candles. This service cannot be broadcast over Zoom because of the low lighting. Please join us in person at 7:00pm for the combined celebration of Winter Solstice and Christmas Eve. The service will end with music; no social hour to follow … Continue reading Candelight Christmas Eve
