The theme of our worship reflection this month is Transformation.  So, I picked the poem about the spider weaving its web because it has many images of transformation.  Erik read the poem to the children, and it is also printed in your order of service so you can post it on your fridge or share […]

As we consider the very real threats to our beloved Earth, it’s easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed. Instead, let us observe Earth Day by renewing both our spirits and our resolve with our annual flower communion. Bring a flower to help fill our sanctuary with beauty and our hearts with hope.

April 16, 2017: The Rite of Spring

Our Christian kin celebrate Easter, the commemoration of Christ’s resurrection from the grave.  Yet there are many ways of understanding – and experiencing – “resurrection.”  Our “Rite of Spring” service is a look at the transformation of death to life, winter to spring, and the “tomb time” in our own lives into our own resurrection.  […]

Read the Order of Service. It was during the first few years of my first settled call that I first started working with a spiritual director, and this guy was the real deal — spiritual director, Episcopal priest, and Jungian analyst.  A seeker’s trifecta.  I remember one day when we were talking about the wrestling I […]

February 26, 2017: Dreaming Creation

Read the Order of Service. There is the stuff of creation- the circles we call in our meditations, the human and animal beings, the trees and rivers, the oceans and streams– that beautiful amalgam. The creation– that some of us call God’s Creation.  And then there are the acts of creation– of babies and symphonies and […]
