“Indigenous People Have Not Vanished”
"Indigenous People Have Not Vanished" —led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Here in New Jersey it is easy to believe that Native Americans abandoned these lands long ago. But that is a myth that enables subjugation and neglect. Join Rev Scott on a reflection this Indigenous People's Sunday to see how we can honor the First nation's folk who long for our recognition and assistance.

"How We Belong"—led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. We belong to one another like the drops in the ocean belong to the sea. Belonging isn't something given, but something inherent. It is as much a devotion as a release into the embrace of something larger than our one individual life.
