In the stories of Hanukkah and Christmas, hope shows up in unlikely places: in a desecrated temple, in a crowded little stable. In what unlikely places has hope surprised us?
Who are you? It’s a question with many answers: biological, psychological, spiritual, relational… Identity is a complicated thing. Join us to explore who we are and whose we are. And join us to know that you are enough.
The December holidays are a joyous time and a difficult time. Today we’ll sing, laugh, and reflect on what it means to stay spiritually grounded through this frenzied season.
Join us for a Christmas Eve service emphasizing carols, storytelling, and wonder. All ages welcome at both the 4:00 and the 7:00 services, with jolly refreshments served in between.
In this soulful, contemplative service we’ll look backwards at the old year and forward to the new year, inviting a spirit of renewal and hopeful possibility.
As the world speeds up, it can get harder to slow down. How do we remind ourselves to breathe, to notice, to take it all in, to process our experiences? Even as we work to save the world, how do we stop and savor it?
When someone we care about is struggling, it’s often hard to know how to be with them. We get tempted to problem-solve, to take on their emotions, or to distance ourselves. But those things often don’t help. Teachings from Buddhist traditions offer us a profound way to be present to suffering.
Grounded in a reflection from Rev. Dr. Rebecca Ann Parker, this all-ages service will explore, in story, word, and music, how we can live every day with more love and more justice.
