It is the Autumn Equinox, one of balance of two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. Spiritually, the autumnal equinox is a reminder for us to assess our accomplishments instead of our shortcomings. It is a time of gratitude and harvest; a time of letting go, and a time reflecting on the blessings in our lives. It is a time to prepare for transformation and change.

For the autumn equinox, let us look outside of our individual selves, and reflect on the life of this congregation.  Let’s collectively harvest the wisdom of our experiences and carry what we want into the new season of this community, doing this in solidarity with one another.

Service Leaders are Wildflowers who are guides for our time together in community

Children and youth in kindergarten through 12th grade will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period. You may choose either option for your child if they are 5 years old.

Drum Circle After the Service in the Sanctuary:  

Following the service with a critical pause for reuniting with children and resetting the sanctuary, we will hold an hour-long drum circle in the sanctuary to celebrate this time in the earth’s turning, the autumnal equinox.  It will be led by Laura Jo Acuna.
