Sunday Worship
Sunday, November 23: Building Beloved Community
9 a.m. & 11 a.m. – in person

As we welcome new members and dedicate ourselves to children and their families we build the Beloved Community that we practice together, and we remember the truth that author Octavia Butler offers: “All that you touch. You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change.” Join us for this joyful celebration and the recommitment to our shared values that is always available to all of us.
Intergenerational Worship: Join us for our New Member Ritual and Child Dedication. All children and youth are welcome in the sanctuary for worship (as they always are!), and childcare will be offered during both services for those aged six months through pre-K. There will be no RE classes this Sunday.

In December, we’re offering an extended single-day class in which participants have an opportunity to get clear on what they personally are committing to as church members and what a mutual, reciprocal church community commits to them in return.
All In!
