Rev. Kathleen McTigue writes: “We stand at a threshold, the new year something truly new, still unformed, leaving a stunning power in our hands: What shall we do with this great gift of Time, this year?” As we stand at the threshold of a new year, through music, rituals and readings we will reflect on this opportunity before us and ask what we will do with the gift of a new year with its promise and possibility.

Other participant in today’s service was Hal Walker.

One service at 10 AM will be offered with nursery care available.

One Night, One Star, One Child

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman with Worship Associates Elaine Bowen and Lori McGee

Rev. Victoria Safford writes: “Now is the moment of magic when an Eastern star beckons…to find an ordinary baby, born at midnight… and the baby’s cry makes people wonder as they wander through their lives what human love might really look like”. On this night as we welcome Christmas once again with joy and awe, we will tell stories and sing songs about the birth of a child who taught us what love really looks like.

On the podcast – Rev. Steven Protzman, Worship Associate Lori McGee, Worship Associate Elaine Bowen, Tone Chimers, Peace Choir.

Nursery care will be available for the 6:30 PM service only. Services will not be offered on Christmas Day.

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Lori McGee

Donna Henes writes: “Lighting a light at the darkest time of the year is a pledge somehow. A promise. Such a small, symbolic gesture.” We will gather as a community of all ages to have a festival of light and rekindle the light of hope and possibility in our hearts and in our community with stories, songs and rituals that draw on some of the world’s light celebrations, including Solstice, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Yule.

Join us for this all-ages service at 10 AM only with nursery care available during the service.

Podcast people: Rev. Steven Protzman, Worship Associate Elena Kline, Worship Associate Lori McGee.

Join Lori McGee for our annual Blue Christmas vespers service at 7 PM on Tuesday evening, December 10. This service is open to all; however, those who have suffered pain or loss over the last year are especially encouraged to attend.  Through music, prayer, and ritual, we will honor our suffering and, perhaps, open ourselves to the joy of the season. 

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Heidi Emhoff Wood

Awe is the feeling we get when something vast challenges our understanding of the world. Feeling awe can be a powerful spiritual experience because as Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner say: “it imbues us with a different sense of ourselves, seeing ourselves as part of something larger.” This service will invite us to reflect on awe and its power to help us grow spiritually by inspiring wonder and curiosity, reverence, kindness, and care for others and the world.

Sunday morning services are offered at 9:45 and 11:30 with nursery care available during both services.

Taking care of the earth is an important and almost universally shared value.  But  taking care of the earth is also a spiritual challenge as it may require at times that we be intentional and change our behavior so that we feel our actions are in alignment with our values.  This service considers how we can consider ways of “upping our game” in environmental stewardship, especially regarding plastic pollution and the environment.

Sunday morning services are offered at 9:45 and 11:30 with nursery care available during both services.
