eNews for Wednesday, August 1

In thinking about religion and society in the 21st century, we should broaden the conversation about faith from doctrinal debates to the larger question of how it might inspire us to strengthen the bonds of belonging that redeem us from our solitude, helping us to construct together a gracious and generous social order.

~ Jonathan Sacks

Worship Matters

Please plan to join us for worship this coming Sunday, August 5 as we continue our Summer Worship Series “Sharing the Stories of Living Our Faith.” Our minister will be leading the service, but the focus and voice that will share the reflection for the morning is still in process...so just come for whatever will be as we continue our exploration together of what it means to live our faith.
Even if - especially if - the word “faith” itself is a stumbling block for you,
please come and add your voice to the discussion.
 

“Here is the task: how to speak of this [faith] together and make it more visible, audible, and tangible in the world.”

~ Krista Tippett


You can read more about our monthly theme as well as explore some supplemental resources here. And if you happen to miss being in worship on any given Sunday, the texts to previous sermon messages (and some of the readings as well) can be found in our website sermon archive.
