Care for Creation ConversationConversations for Creation Care with Earth and Spirit begins our second year on Sunday, January 5, 2025. We meet in a circle near the altar 15 minutes after the 9:30 worship service. Let’s see what we can do about the challenges facing our sacred earth. Individually and collectively, we can commit to making a difference. By addressing challenges of a changing planet, we also nurture community, deal with uncertainties, offer positive solutions, and honor each other’s wisdom. See you next Sunday. |

Children, Youth and Family MinistriesWhen you arrive for the 9:30 a.m. Sunday service, please bring your children with you into the sanctuary; and feel free to sit by the altar near the Children’s Rug so your children can engage with others in quiet activities. After the Children’s Moment, they will be guided by their teachers to two learning spaces: one for younger children with more tactile storytelling and activities, and one for older children. Together, we build community through story, ritual, and fun activities before your children join you again for communion in the sanctuary. Youth are always welcome to join us as helpers for the younger children! |
