"All creatures of the earth and sky, come, kindred, lift your voices high!" You are invited to our annual multigenerational service joining congregations around the globe in celebrating our non-human animal companions and this tradition of St. Francis Day weekend. You are welcome to bring your furry friends with you to the service this morning for a special blessing. We will also remember all those animal friends who have crossed the rainbow bridge. The Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching. Cassie Winters, worship associate. Order of Service

From Monthly: "Deep Listening"

Deep listening invites us to dive beneath the noise of pundits and politicians, 24-hour news cycles on television, and doom-scrolling on social media, so that we may listen more deeply to the sacred within our lives and in the world. Are we willing to listen to spirit or the still small voice within or our cherished humanistic values that give our lives direction and purpose?
