"Is Democracy Dead?" As we see more attempts to suppress voting, making important decisions without proper methods, bypassing or ignoring things put in place to protect our democracy, we need to wonder if our valued democratic ideals are dead, or dying, and what we can do about it.

The meaning of worship is
to be shaped by
what is of worth.
We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.
Our Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.
