“Sharing Gifts”

Please bring a favorite poem or reading and be ready to tell us why you like it. Nothing comes to mind? Join us anyway to listen and be together.

This will be our final summer service. Thanks to all of you who joined me on Sunday. Meeting with you each week has been a pleasure. Thanks, especially to Mary Crowell for “hosting” us.

The Saving Power of Universalist Theology

Rev. Dr. Linda Barnes

Our Universalist ancestors believed that all people are born worthy and that all are saved by the grace of something greater than themselves. Join us to explore our Universalist roots and imagine the saving power of humility and grace in our own times.

The Break before the Bend

Rev. Dr. Linda Barnes

Our Culture asks us to be strong, to be unbreakable. On this Sunday morning, we'll explore the truth about brokenness and rest, and their combined capacity to help us to live fuller, more meaningful lives. In our better moments, we might even welcome them.

About our Services

Elements of a typical morning worship service usually include:

A multigenerational segment, such as a “The Story”
Music, both instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
A time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
A meditation or prayer
Readings—ancient or contemporary
A sermon given by a professional minister, a guest speaker, or a member of the congregation
An offering, collecting financial donations for the congregation or for justice work in the community.
