A significant and poignant service that we shared across zoom with one another. In it, we affirmed , welcomed, and celebrated the belovedness and belonging of the LGBTQ+ community in our faith community. Sarah, Eden, Karina, Carter & Taryn led various parts of the liturgy, communion and introductions while author Stacey Chomiak preached the good news of a gospel that has room for everyone. 10/10 recommended listening!

Eden kicks off our first indoor, in-person service with a sermon on Love to start our fall sermon series Beauty, Fully Alive. We do apologize for the poor sound quality on this one - we are working the little sound gremlins out and hope for a better next time we meet and record!

On this particular weekend, our local community was/is melting in a heatwave, but we had a really cool service all the same! Eden led us through lectio, Sarah brought us through our communion practice and Steve preached a great sermon on Reimag/in/ing Unity- it's not uniformity and independence that makes us great but rather leaning into our differences and interdependence that make our community beautiful and strong.
Suggested listening for this sermon is the song "City on the Hill" on the Come to the Well recording by Casting Crowns.
