"Praise for Pride"— led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Say it loud. Say it proud. We are here to build a world where all people know and feel and have love. This is our annual Flower Communion Service. The colors will be flying!
"Bridges Not Walls" — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. The Poet Hafez wrote: "We have not come here to take prisoners, But to surrender ever more deeply / To freedom and joy." In our day more walls are being built than bridges. This service includes powerful reflections from our youth members about their commitment to freedom and joy.
“The Mystic Chords of Memory” — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Imagine if our nation had a more nuanced and broad appreciation of Public Service? How come the people most often honored for "Serving their country" are warriors? There are so many who give up fortune and family time to serve our nation's needs without ever using a gun. Join us as we explore a different way to honor Memorial Day.
"If Not Doctrine & Dogma.." — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister.
A Catholic Monk who has dedicated over 37 years in a Cistercian Abbey said that faith has little to do with doctrine and dogma. This service explores what he did claim as essential.
"Imagine a Way Forward" — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister.
Imagine a door opening, a way forward, a way out of no way; imagine that the earth below us even now is holy ground.
"Hope Matters"— led by the Rev. Sherman Logan. Sometimes, the weight of the world can feel overwhelming, testing our spirit. We witness suffering, chaos, violence, greed, hatred, and a lack of empathy and compassion all around us. It’s natural to feel like giving up and surrendering to hopelessness. Yet, even in the bleakest moments, hope matters. It is the guiding light that shines brightest in our darkest times.
