September 11 - Water Communion

Please bring some drops of water that symbolize something meaningful from your summer.

Initially created as a service to celebrate women’s spirituality and the connections amongst people and our planet, Water Communion speaks to the “awe and reverence” that guide us to fuller appreciation of life. In the context of current drought and flooding, Water Communion can also lead us to revisit our relationship with aspects of our lives we need to nourish. The homily this morning is entitled Quenching a Thirst and Susannah Thornton will be our guest soloist.

September 18 - Why Church? Part I: Unchecked Baggage 

During so much of human existence, people have sought out religion to find meaning in life. In our contemporary world, however, surveys of Americans reveal an increasing rejection of formal religion. Why Church? Part I: Unchecked Baggage will take a look at some of the assumptions people make about religion that might keep them away from church. Gabrielle Coyne will be our soloist.

September 25. Why Church? Part II: A Place to Stand

Given the growing inclination to be wary of church, how does a person determine what church might provide what they seek? Why Church? Part II: A Place to Stand will consider what organized spirituality has to offer and how to recognize what might be a good church ‘home.” Mark Slawson will provide music.
