Our Second Sound
On May 12, in her sermon, “Our First Sound,” Rev. Karen Hutt reflected on the complicated, lovely, weird, fun, scary, and joyous relationships we have with our mothers, and all of the nuance that exists around Mother’s Day. This Sunday, Rev. Hutt and Rev. Schroeder, along with several congregants, will reflect on what it means to be a father, what it means to be a father in this #MeToo era, what it means to be a “white father,” or a “father of color,” and more. Finally, we’ll reflect on the spiritual dimension of fathering. Join us for one service at 10 a.m.!

How might this community of faith make our shoulders strong, keep our hearts open, and join together as an island of sanity and solidarity. Join us in the Yes, and…
