A New Rising Fire

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, January 31, 2021 at 10 AM

A virtual service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Lori Mirkin-McGee.

It is the time of Imbolc, the Pagan festival that celebrates the growing light and the promise of the earth awakening once again. It is also the festival of Brigid, the Celtic goddess of fire, spring, healing, and poetry. As we celebrate Brigid and Imbolc with stories, songs, and rituals, we will invite Brigid’s fire of creativity to rise inside us and guide us in bringing peace, justice, and hope to the world.

Welcome to the Imaginarium

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 10:00 AM

A virtual service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Heidi Emhoff-Wood.

An imaginarium is a place devoted to the imagination. It is a place where we can bring our dreams and hopes for a better world and create ways to make these dreams and hopes real. Together during this service we will create an imaginarium and put our imaginations to work to envision not only who we will be as individuals in this new year, but also who we will be as a congregation and what we want to do together. Thanks to the Harry Noden Memorial Music Fund, we also welcome Lea Morris as our special musical guest for this service

Re-imagining the Dream

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, January 17, 2020 10:00 AM

A virtual service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Colleen Thoele.

In his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. expressed his dream that one day people would not be judged on the color of their skin but on their character and that the equality expressed in the Declaration of Independence would become a reality. During this service we will remember Dr. King and think about how we can re-imagine his dream for these challenging times.

To See the World in a Grain of Sand

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, January 10, 2021

A virtual service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Diana Van Winkle.

William Blake wrote: “to see the world in a grain of sand…” I recently discovered the concept of fractals, infinite repeating patterns all tied together in a vast web beyond our comprehension, and how nature is made of fractals. Using our imaginations, visual images, readings, and songs, we will learn about fractals, our Seventh Principle, and the power of creative energy to renew us and sustain us as we say yes to life’s invitation to
flourish.
