Worship
We are just taking our first steps…
Join us every Sunday for renewing Christian practices
for healing and hope
for justice and joy
This Little Light @ 8:30am
This 30 minute service is specially designed for kids 6 and under (and their families).
You bring: wiggly bodies, wondering minds, open hearts.
We’ll bring: sock puppet stories, fun songs, and ways for kids to encounter a God who is caring, creative, and unconditionally loving.
We are parents asking how we want to pass on a life-giving faith tradition to our kids (and maybe heal or grow ourselves in the process…)
You are welcome here. Your family is welcome here. We celebrate queer families and interfaith families; we celebrate and support queer and trans kids.
Holy Eucharist @ 10am
This 75 minute service is specially designed for human beings with flaws, hurts, and bad habits—who yearn for healing and liberation.
We practice grace and connection by singing together, by opening our hearts to one another and to God, through storytelling and reflection, and in the ancient practice of Holy Communion.
We are practicing intergenerational worship, with kids and adults in sanctuary together. Why? Because adults need the example of children to help us pray unguardedly, and because kids grow by witnessing the way that trusted adults wrestle with God in community. We have creative, Process Art-style activities for kids >6 and people of all ages whose souls are happy when their hands are making things!
Followed by a welcoming Coffee Hour: come catch up with people who are curious about what the heart of your week has been.
Open Space, Quiet Space
Sundays, 7 - 9 PM
The sanctuary is open for as a space of rest and stillness. There is no program, nothing you need to do, or say, or achieve. It is a space to just be present: to grieve, catch up, practice gratitude, listen to our hearts, etc., etc., etc. Nothing more, and nothing less.
There will be candles lit in the center of the room, and you are invited to do whatever your body needs to find ease in the candlelight. You might: lie down on the floor, sit on a meditation cushion or bench, find a chair along the walls, find enough light to read or journal, daydream…
Compline
(On Hiatus)
In early 2024 we experimented with a chanted service of Compline: the prayers that monastics have said before bedtime for centuries. We blended the chanting of these ancient prayers with other pieces of devotional music, including some playful reinterpretations of pop melodies to accompany a chanted psalm (Billie Eilish, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, the Magnetic Fields, Neil Young). Mostly we worked with a choral quartet, but also did a very special compline with guitarist Jay Sorce—and we may do more down the road! For now this Compline is on hiatus as we put our creative energy elsewhere.
