December 28, 2025 - 10:30am: Finding Hope in Choppy Waters

More Details Live Stream or in person!

We live in challenging times. Anyone who strives for a just and caring world — and engages the national news — is likely to sense a bitter taste of failure as we close out a tumultuous year. To keep up our resilience, might it help to look at success and failure in a different way? Rev. Dennis will look at success, failure, and some lessons of history as we sort out these trying times.

January 4, 2026: All Ages Service: The Courage to Be You

More Details Live Stream or in person!

We welcome the New Year with story and song and an invitation to consider the hopes and the gifts that we can bring with us to shape the New Year.
