Upcoming Services

August 2, 2026: The Call of Kindness

More Details Live Stream or in person!

A moral life is one that acknowledges our kinship with all people, indeed with all beings, all animals and plants, rivers and mountains, Earth and Sun. We gather this morning to experience how story and song can help us enlarge the realm of kindness.

August 9, 2026: All Ages Ingathering Water Service

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Everyone is invited to bring water from a place that is meaningful in your life to share in this service. As we mingle our water together, we remember the gift of belonging in a community where we can share our lives, including our joys and our sorrow, our growth and our changes.
