"The Really Big Word is Trust" — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin. In this service Rev. Charles discusses the word, trust. Trust can be dangerous because trust always involves risk. A theology of trust invites us to ask not what do we believe but rather in what or in whom do we place our trust?
"Journeys of the Heart" — led by the Rev. Lynn Gardner and the Rev. Wendy Bartel.
What would it be like if we were able to live "by heart?" Not just from memory, but living with love at the center.
"Is Deserve a Dirty Word? Universal Salvation and Bad Theology"— led by the Rev. Sarah Lenzi. Rev. Sarah will explore with us the word deserve, the history of universal salvation, and why it matters to us now.
"Where Your Heart Is" — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. Our service today invites us into the practice of generosity. Help sustain this congregation with pledges to pay for staff, maintain this beautiful building, and support our amazing programs. TOGETHER WE CAN!
"Have I Got a Story For You," — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. Storytelling is a powerful means of gathering and communicating information, literally helping us make sense of the world. Stories are wondrous things. However, author and lecturer Thomas King reminds us that they are also dangerous, as he warns, "Don't say in the years to come that you would have lived your life differently if only you had heard this story. You've heard it now."
This worship service centers on the theme of calling out for change through mercy, vision, and justice. Rooted in the story of Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52) and inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to interconnected justice, the service invites worshippers to open their hearts, eyes, and spirits to God’s transformative love and to rise courageously in pursuit of justice and compassion in the world.
