When we speak of "worship," we are referring to the shared religious life of our congregation: attending Sunday worship services, creating religious music, honoring life passages like marriage and death, and celebrating special holidays together.
"Beyond Our Walls: Love in Action" is our 2010-11 program year worship and learning focus for spiritual exploration and practice. Our monthly religious themes invite us to find ways to put our faith into action beyond our walls. Together and individually we consider the many ways we can reach out and work together to build a more just, loving and sustainable world.
Our Sunday Worship Service is at 10:15 a.m. (May 30 - Labor Day). Beginning September 12, 2010, our Sunday Worship Services will be at 9:25 a.m and 11:25 a.m. The 9:25 a.m. services will feature more contemplative worship, while the 11:25 a.m. services will feature more lively worship arts celebrations.
