It’s Celebration Sunday. This is our 65th birthday as a congregation. We kick it off with a celebration of faithful giving, dedicated leadership, and maybe just a bit of cake.


Chalice Lighting

We light the fire of Truth and ask to be clear, wise, and humble enough to admit when we don’t know. We kindle the warmth of community and ask for open heartedness and patience. We are grateful to the Spirit of Life and ask to learn the secret to loving and being loved.

Call to Worship
from Book of Micah in the Hebrew Bible

How shall I enter the Eternal’s presence. Shall I come with sacrifices of yearling calves to offer. Would the Eternal care for lambs in the thousands or for oil flowing in myriad streams. What does the eternal ask of you but to be Just, Kind, and live in quiet fellowship with your God.

Affirming Our Mission

Together we nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice to build the Beloved Community.
