December 21, 2025: Cultivating Sanctuary Within
We often think about sanctuary as a place or an act of providing protection, but there is also power in being able to create a sense of peace, safety and sanctuary in our own spirits. How can this practice help us find rootedness and peace amid tumult and uncertainty?

December 21, 2025 - 6pm: Winter Solstice
Winter is a time for slowing down and for resting, for taking stock and for envisioning what we want to bring to life when the wheel turns once more to springtime. We take time on the shortest day to notice the changing season and how it resonates in our bodies and in our lives. This special meditative service features candlelight, a contemplative spiral walk, and special music from Ray Fellman and Mary Craig.

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