We embark upon our 98th year of liberal and liberating religion with our annual Water Communion and Ingathering Service. There is much despair in the world as wars rage, bigotry is emboldened, science and education are attacked, and public health is being dismantled (to name but a few of our immense societal problems) but the embers of hope, resilience, and resistance are also present. Join us as we name our hopes and dreams, offer our prayers, and pour libations of water imbued with our hearts longings. Join us in-person or online.

As we begin the congregational year, let’s explore what belonging means. May each of us (who were once the newcomers here) now welcome newcomers and not be too shy to learn about them and what each one is looking for — and to share the ways we engage with this community… both which activities we do and why we like doing them. Let’s see if we can keep building belonging; it’s a worthy investment in the future.
