Awakening the Power of Less

Awakening the Power of Less

April 3, 2022

Today’s service is called "Awakening the Power of Less" Here, during Lent and on the 3rd day of Ramadan, we will explore spiritual disciplines like Fasting and Simplicity. We will consider that perhaps Enlightenment is not necessarily the creation of a new state of affairs but engaging the richness of what already is. Rev Scott is joined by Markus and our awesome worship band, with songs led by Paul Lombardo and Juliana Carr. Ami Brabson returns to serve as Liturgist!

Faith in Repair, Faith in Reparations

Faith in Repair, Faith in Reparations

March 27, 2022

This service is about repair - necessary repair. It is also about the political crime of denying that repair. And this service is a call to faith - to act on the faith that repair is possible. Today’s sermon is an open letter to Governor Murphy, asking him to support and then pass the Reparation Task Force Act for New Jersey, Bill A938/S386. These readings stand as faithful touchstones from scripture and national history that further compel this action.

Faith is a Confidence, Not a Belief

Faith is a Confidence, Not a Belief

March 20, 2022

Join Rev Scott for a Pastoral exploration of the nature of faith. Faith is not about belief. It is instead a conviction, a confidence that we have searched hard to discover the truth, and have committed to living in accord with that awareness. How do we feel confident in the age of COVID, when so much we have known has been in flux for two years?
