Welcome! We hope this feels like a space you can take a deep breath in. You are loved, just as you are. Full stop. We breathe in. And out. God’s love is here. May we practice love so we can embody Jesus’ love in our daily lives, relationships & justice work.

A Quiet Room is available for anyone with sensory needs or young children. Ask an usher at the back of the sanctuary and they’ll point you toward the Quiet Room.(*) You are invited to rise in body or spirit

*Call to Worship | Dylan Jones

Here is the honest call, the holy invitation, the sacred task of our lives:
To seek and be sought by Love 
When we betray Love out of fear or greed or shame 
Love calls us to account
Love looks us in the face 
Love asks us to tend and mend and repair 
Love cherishes and guides us 
and fills our hearts with courage 
We belong to Love! Let us listen for Love’s message.

*Vision of Faith
We are all God’s People! We are called by Christ to ministries of love, justice and reconciliation with our church, community and world!

Faithful One, thank you for never giving up on us. For calling us back to ourselves when we stray. For holding our feet to Love’s fire. For confronting us with truths that set us free. For believing in what we can do together when we are honest and accountable. In gratitude, we bring these gifts to you. Amen.
