Upcoming Services
July 19, 2026: All Ages Service - Singing the Beloved Community Into Being
Angela Gabriel and friends
Singing together is our birthright and a joy-filed, joy-fueled way to cultivate the necessary qualities of the Beloved Community.
Angela still identifies as a performer, teacher, facilitator, and lifelong learner, even though disabilities have forced her to retire. Living with multiple invisible illnesses, some of them breathing-related, she has learned firsthand the life-saving power of song and breath. This has only amplified her mission in life, which is to spread joy through creative experiences and to encourage folks of any age and background to replace judgement with curiosity and open themselves to their unique voice. In fact, it has made it even more precious when she does have opportunities to engage with others.

July 26, 2026: To Stand in Awe
Father Greg Boyle tells us, "Here is what we seek: a compassion that can stand in awe at what the poor have to carry rather than stand in judgement at how they carry it." People experiencing homelessness are some of the most vulnerable people in our society yet frequently are judged, blamed, and even attacked for things they have little to no control over. Today we will explore themes of judgement, fear, and even disgust and how we can turn those feelings into compassion.

February 15, 2026: In Search of Truth and Wisdom

Truth can denote something factual, but it can also point to the deeper meaning of things. Truth in this sense can actually draw us to confront some of life’s most difficult realities. However, it also means that the search for truth can help us grow in wisdom. -

In person services canceled due to snow storm.
Deep wells of courage are all around us, all the time, if only we are able to attune our spirits to Source. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and overly responsible for our world and it is important to remember that we do not go this road alone. In this service, we will explore different understandings of Source and how we might draw on That Which is Greater Than Us for spiritual nourishment. With Rev. Sarah Gettie McNeill.
