The Lighting of the Chalice by Ministers
We gather as people from many backgrounds and faith traditions to uphold and consider matters of the heart, mind and soul. Prophetic words from preachers past or a variety of texts; elevating music, including our own voices joined together and lifted in song; reflections through silence or meditation, along with a central sermon, invite us to be inspired and inspire others. Worship for us, is only complete with your presence and involvement.
We generally have two Sunday-morning services, at 9:00 am and 10:45 am during the regular church year, which runs from the Sunday after Labor Day in September to the second Sunday in June. A majority of services are led by our parish minister, Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern.
Most of the religious-education programs for children run concurrently with the adult worship services, with classes at both 9:00 am and 10:45 am. A sun-room and a nursery with live-video feed are also available for parents of young children.
Hanging Greens and Stars in the Sanctuary for our Annual Intergenerational Solstice Service
On summer Sundays, we have a single service at 10:00 am, led by visiting ministers, guest speakers or congregation members. There is a summer program of child care and children’s activities.
Approximately 6 times a year, we have inter-generational worship services where all ages gather in the sanctuary for songs, stories and inspirational words.
Green Vespers - Art Work by Helen Kaar
