Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird
I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
~ George Eliot
| In Worship In worship this Sunday, October 2, our minister will share a message titled “On the Necessity of a Forgotten Virtue” – a topic as timely as can be for the times we live in. We hope you’ll join us! “Reverence has more to do with politics than religion. We can easily imagine religion without reverence; we see it, for example, wherever religion leads people into aggressive war or violence. But power without reverence – that is a catastrophe for all concerned.” ~ Paul Woodruff And…if you happened to miss our service this past Sunday, you will find the text version of the service, and also the text of the Black Lives Matter banner dedication on our website sermon archive page. Upcoming Services: October 9: “Against Nature” - message written and presented by Guy Newland; worship leader Vicki Chessin. October 16: “What Protagoras Meant” |  Lynzee Leigh Photography • lynzeeleighphotography.com |
