"A Beautiful Mess" — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. This is the story in the service where we discover the beauty in the mess.

In this service we look at the concept of a "Promised Land" with reference to the current and historical strife in the land of Israel and Palestine, asking "whose promised land is it?"

"Meet Me in Galilee"— led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. In this Palm Sunday service we remember the real message of the Christian gospels - to give abundantly so that all can be fed.

"What to Banish, What to Hide"— led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister.

We find an honest path through difficult history.

"The King Has Another Move"— led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Let us have an audacity of hope. What we mistake for a period is only a comma.

Our senses - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and seeing - liberate us from isolation. This service celebrates the senses and helps us utilize them as we pursue our beloved community.
