This cartoon from Dave Walker of Cartoonchurch.com depicts an ideal for the church to live out every day, not just in a time of pandemic.

In these times, we are challenged to remember that our covenant is 24-7 — and at the same time — we can be comforted and sustained through that very connection.

So we’ll spend some time checking in and listening to each other and talk about some ways we can continue to live our principles out in the world even from home.

22 March 2020 Worship Livestreaming Video

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, we have begun to broadcast a livestream video of our Sunday morning worship services.

This worship video will be available live and in recorded formats.

For our second attempt at livestreaming our worship, we have used Facebook Live. One does not have to log into Facebook or have a Facebook account to view this video.

22 March 2020 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us online this Sunday (22 March 2020) at 11:00 AM for “Companions for the Journey” with Kathy Osuch and Bob Jordan.

As we continue our season focusing on peace, social justice, and the interdependent web, we are blessed to have two of our members share their spiritual paths which are centered around their love and respect for the Earth and nature.

Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, our worship service will be an online streaming video service and we will not be meeting in person. You can join us online here.

After the worship service, we are asking children and youth to join us on the religious education Zoom link. We’ll have a time for sharing joys and concerns and a very short lesson.

For 15 March 2020, religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
