Welcome

Perhaps you’re curious about a congregation that enjoys stimulating and thought-provoking discussions that incorporate the wisdom of all religions. Maybe you’re seeking a spiritual home or community of like-minded people.
Perhaps you are looking for a program for your children that will guide them to be moral, compassionate people. Or, you may just need an hour of spirituality and tranquility in the midst of a busy life. Whatever your reason, we welcome you.
To be welcoming to all, we endeavor to be a scent free space.

Upcoming Sermons
November 24
Don't Wait for the Woodcutter: On Being Your Own Hero/Heroine
-Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch
During a ministers' retreat years ago, Rev. Pat with a small group of colleagues were given the task of together weaving the story of Little Red Riding Hood into a homily that could be used in a Sunday morning service. A series of three sermons resulted, each focusing on different characters/personalities in the story. Are we waiting for a Woodcutter to bring us a happy ending to our own story, or might we have it within to be our own hero/heroine?
