Oct. 31 - For Everything a Season - Rev. Carly Gaylor

31/10/2021

 
​In the midst of changes in the seasons, in our congregation, and the world, how do we hold on to that which is worth preserving and also embrace change? Let go of 'the way we've always done things' without losing the important things along the way? To say goodbye and hello with grace and love?

Sep 20 – Rev. Carly Gaylor – What is normal?

20/9/2020

 
We hear regularly now of “the new normal.” Just what is “normal”? How do we respond to “normal,” new or otherwise? What is our role in the midst of the current global challenges in living our values and working for the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible? Come and enjoy our first in-person service in months - bring your own chair/blanket, coffee/snacks, and dress warmly in case of chilly weather as we enjoy seeing one another face to face once again.
