Central to Rev. Anya's current ministry is the honest confrontation necessary to dismantle white supremacy, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and sexism.
A "Religious, Naturalist Mystic," Rev Scott strives to embody service to our holy mission to build Beloved Community, together, in covenant.
"Covenant as a Transformational Tool: How Covenant Builds Trust" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. In this service, Rev. Scott and Rev. Charles continue a sermon series on “Trust.” Together they examine how trusting our covenant - those agreements and procedures we have composed for building a beloved community together - can liberate our best selves and fortify us during uncertain times.
"Story" — led by the Rev. Dr. Jan Carlsson-Bull. In this service the Rev. Jan asks, "Whose story am I living? Whose story are you living? Whose story are we living? What story can we trust?"
"The Really Big Word is Trust" — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin. In this service Rev. Charles discusses the word, trust. Trust can be dangerous because trust always involves risk. A theology of trust invites us to ask not what do we believe but rather in what or in whom do we place our trust?
Sesame Workers Union
Brennyn Nast lights this candle of joy for the Sesame Workers Union. On May 15th the workers behind the non-profit that produces Sesame Street formed a union! Though Brennyn was laid off in March, they have continued to work for this union effort that they began with a small group of colleagues nearly 2 years ago. What an incredible joy it is to see this labor union make it over the finish line! Wishing them strength and solidarity as they negotiate.
“I love that I get to contribute to the worship services and also serve as a member of the Worship Committee helping to plan the services.”
“A hundred years from now no one is going to remember me, but they might remember what we as a congregation DID.””
“We’ve raised our kids in this wonderful community. WE’VE grownup spiritually in this community.”
