Upcoming Services:

May 10: Heart Encouraging, Rev. Dr. Debra W. Haffner (Sanctuary and Zoom)

Rev. Debra had the privilege of spending a week studying with poet Mark Nepo this winter. She’ll share Nepo’s poetry and insights into how we can live into our heart’s courage and will reflect on what it means to center love.

May 17: Folk Music Sunday, Director of Music Ministry – Anne Watson Born (Sanctuary and Zoom)

The FUUSN Band and Folk Singers present music about journeys and returning home.

 

May 24: Into the Widening Light, Phoebe Eckart-Lee (Sanctuary and Zoom)

On this Memorial Day, we gather at the threshold between spring and summer to remember those we have lost and notice the life still unfolding around us. Inspired by Tennyson’s Crossing the Bar, this service offers a gentle space for reflection on the crossings that shape us. Together, we’ll honor memory while leaning into the season’s light, carrying love forward with a sense of hope and quiet joy.

May 31: Flower Communion, Rev. Dr. Debra W. Haffner and Rev. Joel Miller (Sanctuary and Zoom)

Join Rev. Debra and Rev. Joel for our annual flower communion. More details as we get closer.
