Our worship theme focus for much of the remainder of November and part of December will be “Covenant and Belonging.” We begin this Sunday, November 15 with “Behaving, Believing, Belonging” – we hope you will join us!
“There may be something incredibly naïve about the notion that we can have meaningful human relationships without any mandated behavior or commonly-held belief. Perhaps if it were more easily accomplished, divorce lawyers would find themselves out of work. Yet we try as a religious community to live into this noble ideal. We do not say that behavior and belief are unimportant, but we do say—through word and deed—that our distinguishing characteristic is that we are a people who belong to one another. We covenant together, making voluntary commitments with our spiritual neighbors, viewing one another as kindred spirits, and interacting with love and compassion.” ~ Stefan Jonasson
