COMMUNITY WORSHIP

June’s Ministry Theme: The Practice of Freedom

11 a.m. Sunday, June 1, 2025
A Bridge from Heart to Heart
The Annual Bridging Service
Rev. Leia Durland-Jones & Rev. Tim Temerson

There are many milestones to celebrate this Sunday at our annual Bridging Service. We will honor our graduating high school seniors and “bridge” them to young adulthood. Those who have achieved trade school, college, graduate school, or other career dreams are invited to let Rev. Leia know so you can be included in the service. Through songs, readings, and the ritual of Bridging, we will celebrate our interconnected community that is centered in love.

December 3, 2017: Oh Star

When I was in high school, our concert choir sang a piece that really moved me deeply.  Every time we sang it, when we got to this one particular part, I would find myself tearing up.  And not just whenever I was singing it, whenever I’ve listened to it since I’ve teared up at that […]
