July 13, 2025: I Put My Faith in Cicadas

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Discerning a call to ministry amid the noisy, chaotic beauty of millions of cicadas, these buzzing, bumbling bugs remind us we’re always transforming, always part of something larger, always capable of emerging anew—together. Led by Madison Colquette.

July 20, 2025: Death, Loss, and Other Disappointments

More Details Live Stream or in person!

When we lose people through death, or experience decline or setbacks in our own lives, it’s hard. It sets us on a path with vulnerability and surprise emotions. And while it can feel so lonely to go through loss, it’s one of the most common human experiences. Today’s sermon draws from Five True Things by Buddhist writer and psychotherapist David Richo. Led by Rev. Dr. Roger Jones.
