    Sunday Worship: Ragged Edges

    Sanctuary 1260 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, United States
    Worship Services

    Chaplain Michael Eselun, preaching; Judith Martin Straw, Worship Associate. Most of us would prefer tidiness over mess — a place for everything and everything in its place. Sadly, life seldom cooperates. Life is messy—perspectives and realities can collide at such inopportune times. Can we come to peace with mess? Even stand in awe before the jarring mess of life? A popular guest speaker and UCLA oncology chaplain, Michael Eselun will share some reflections with no answers at all. Come hear something new from someone who's spoken from our pulpit over two dozen times. Join us for Sunday morning worship in our historic Sanctuary at 18th and Arizona, online or in-person.
