1 event, Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Karen Hsu Patterson, Worship Associate. Join us for our special annual service honoring one of the great holidays of the Hindu tradition — MahaShivaratri — which we've celebrated in some way for the past six years as we've better lived into our multicultural, multiracial, and multireligious commitments. "The Great Night of Shiva" is a time of deepening yogic spiritual exercises to overcome powers of illusion, depletion, and corruption in the world. We will be blessed by our honored musical guests Rohan Ramanan and Dani Ekbote. Please note Ramazan begins on Feb. 17 and Lent begins on Feb 18. We hope to be with you on Sunday! | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, |
1 event, Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Cassie Winters, Worship Associate. Often, when people are told that they will never again be capable of doing something, they respond defiantly, "Watch me." Then they work hard to prove the speaker wrong, while proving to themselves that they can, indeed, do that thing. Climbing mountains, learning a new language, walking after a debilitating accident. These things all take the combination of inspiration, motivation and determination that we call resilience. Join us for Sunday morning worship in our historic Sanctuary at 18th and Arizona, online or in-person. | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, | 0 events, |
