Upcoming Services

June 4: Bridges of Vulnerability 

With ceremonies of different graduations drawing to a close, we become even more mindful of the liminal times of our lives when thresholds beckon. What is the nature of the vulnerability we feel at such times and how might we manage it? Gabrielle Coyne will be our soloist.

June 11: Summer Spirituality

This next-to-last worship service before our summer break offers a chance to reflect on how we nurture our spiritual joy without the structure of familiar ritual. While we often emphasize Nature as a gateway to spirituality, we can also consider other sources of contemplative nourishment, as well as routines to reinforce them. Mark Slawson will provide our music. 

June 18: Keeping an Eye on the Ball

We have so much going on today! It is the 100th anniversary of Flower Communion, the ceremony where we all bring a single flower to church and together create a shared bouquet. It is Father’s Day. And it is our last planned meeting in the sanctuary before the pause of summer. There are many balls in the air at this service and thinking about how we manage them offers insight concerning the many different things we manage in our lives beyond church. Susannah Thornton will be our soloist. 

275 Grant Winners

As part of our 275th anniversary celebration, we were pleased to award five mini-grants to those who best answered the question: “What could I do with $275 to serve the community or a neighbor?”   We received over 30 worthy applications, and we thank everyone for their thoughtful submissions.  The five awards are listed below.
