Mar. 16: Ritual Sunday

March 16: Equal Ground: Leading the Change as Equals

What if youth weren’t just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today?

How do we make sure everyone, no matter how old, has a chance to lead, speak, and be heard?
What would happen if we actually listened to each other—not just waiting for our turn, but really hearing each other out?

How do we make a community where age doesn’t define your ability to make a difference, and where we all work together as equals?
What if change isn’t something we wait for, but something we create—together, now?

This service is about everyone stepping up—youth and adults—taking action, sharing leadership, and growing together. No one’s waiting around for their turn. This is our moment, our time to lead, to act, and to build the change we want to see—together. We’re all in this, as equals.

Ritual Sundays are a monthly opportunity for families to worship together. These Sundays feature a dynamic, family-friendly, intergenerational, and interactive worship service. This shorter worship service takes place at both 9 & 11 a.m., followed by fellowship and connection in the Social Hall. 

View the Digital Order of Service here on Sunday morning. (Updated each week before worship.)

Children & Youth

Ritual Sunday: Religious Education is in worship this Sunday. Senior High youth are invited to gather at 10:30 for bagels and then attend the worship together. Childcare will be available for babies through Pre-K.

Please check the Families page on the website and the Children, Youth, & Families calendar for more information – different age groups frequently have different schedules or special events. 

If you have not yet registered your family for this year of Religious Education, please register your family today. All families — new and returning, with babies through high schoolers — must register each church year.
