Due to a technical difficulty, we are unable to stream today’s service on YouTube or Zoom. The service will still be happening in person as scheduled.

Our sincerest apologies to those who join us online. We are working to correct the issue and expect to have streaming restored by next Sunday.

Thank you for your understanding.

Backpack Blessing: What's in Your Invisible Backpack?
Robyn Travers

Mila is excited—and a little worried—about her first day of school. We all know that feeling: heading into something new and unknown.
In The Invisible String Backpack by Patrice Karst, Mila discovers that she has an invisible backpack filled with all the tools she needs to face whatever comes her way. And the wonderful thing is, we all have one, too!
Join us for this multigenerational service as we explore what we carry with us—love, courage, kindness, connection, and so much more.
Bring your backpack! Or bring whatever you carry through your day: a purse, work bag, computer case, tote, or anything else. We’ll bless these everyday companions for the year ahead.
Help a child start the school year ready! Please also bring new school supplies to donate to children in need.
Come discover what’s inside your invisible backpack!

The Power of your Emotional Intelligence

Brian Sullivan

Emotions happen, all the time. Ignore them or stuff them down, and they may explode! Your emotional intelligence can be an infinite source of energy: use it with wisdom and compassion, and avoid explosions. Our collective emotional intelligence is an existing strength of this community - let us build on that strength!

Finding Your Place in the Work of Justice
Robyn Travers

In Deepa Iyer's book Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection, she reminds us that each of us has unique gifts to offer in the work of creating a more just and compassionate world.

In this interactive service, Robyn will introduce the ten roles people often play in social change movements and invite us to reflect on where we naturally fit. Together, we'll explore how our gifts, lived experiences, and skills can help our congregation faithfully engage in the work of justice and make a meaningful difference in our community.

Kindness Inspirations from Theo
(of Golden)
Jody Clark

Kindness is fundamental to life within our church family and in the wider world. Join us for a time of reflection on the many ways one person can demonstrate kindness and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Our discussion and reflection will be inspired by the novel Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.

Art, Mind, Wonder
presented by David Miles

Not a ‘Deep Dive’, but more like wading into a stream . . . of consciousness. This service is designed as a follow-on to Peggy Fallon's service about the brain’s participation in placebo power. Delving into the book “Your Brain on Art”, by Magsamen and Ross, discloses many ways the arts affect the functioning of the brain. We will touch on some of these through experiences to encourage congregants to dive deeper into the power of the unconscious. No sermon here - only experiences to activate Your Brain on Art.

What We Tend Becomes Precious

Rev. Lee Anne Washington

A garden teaches us that beauty cannot be rushed, love cannot be forced, and growth asks for patience, attention, and trust. This Flower Communion Sunday, with wisdom from The Little Prince and from those who know the holy work of tending living things, we will reflect on how what we care for changes us — and how beloved community becomes precious through the time and tenderness we give to one another.
Everyone is invited to bring a flower for our shared bouquet and food to share at coffee hour. There will be extras of both if you forget.

For privacy reasons, this service will be streamed live but will not be available to view afterward.
