“Humanity Greater than History” – Rev. Mitra Jafarzadeh and Rabbi Jonathan Cohen
Sunday November 17, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
Rabbi Jonathan Cohen and Rev. Mitra Jafarzadeh have been friends for many years. In the past year, the two have been working together to bring our understanding of deep interfaith/intercultural work to the service of the larger community. How do we find ways across the divide? How do we cultivate healing in a hurting world? What might each of us do to help create deeper, more lasting justice so that everyone can thrive?

“All Souls Sunday” – Rev. Bill Gupton
Sunday October 27, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
Due to the election, we will celebrate All Souls Sunday a week early this year. On this memorable morning, we memorialize all those loved ones who have departed this life in the past 12 months – church members, family members, dear friends. We acknowledge the influence and impact they had on our lives, and the fact that we, too, are mortal, and will one day follow these ancestors into what lies beyond.

“The Clock is Ticking” – Rev. Bill Gupton
Sunday October 6, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
It is 30 days until one of the most consequential elections in American history.
Yes, you’ve heard that before (more or less every four years now throughout this century), but we can hardly imagine — and don’t really care to — a more important choice than the one facing American voters a month from now.
What kind of country will we be? What legacy will we leave our children, and theirs?
Early voting begins Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Let’s look at the issues, and get “Fired Up and Ready to Go!”

“Teach Your Children Well” – Rev. Bill Gupton
Sunday September 29, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
The leaves are turning, school is back in session, politicians and parents are arguing over what we should and should not teach our children, books are being banned — it’s just another fall in an America divided by a culture war that is, by the way, very real. As a faith tradition, we hope to teach our children our beliefs and values. Let’s talk about that this morning.
