Worship Services

Our worship services occur every Sunday beginning at 11:45 a.m. and last for about an hour. On the second Sunday of each month, our service is on Zoom only.

Upcoming Service

The Peace of Defiance

December 08, 2024

This time of year can be so emotionally taxing. We are told it's the happiest of times, but often it feels anything but.  And that before we even begin to think about political and societal problems. It's tempting to just put on a fake smile and go through the motions of Happy Holidays so we can get it over with. But what if we just let it be? What if we found peace in this unease? What if instead of running away from our emotional response, we settled into it? There is peace in defiance. Join Rev. Carrie to explore that peace and how our religion supports it.


 

This is a Zoom-only service. There will be no children's and youth religious education classes.

Masks are optional in the sanctuary.
