“Two Seas”
Sunday, September 7 at 10:30 a.m.
We begin our new church year with the beloved Ingathering Water Ceremony.
In his first service as our minister, Rev. Bill Lyon invites us to join in this annual ritual of mingling the waters—a symbol of our diverse journeys flowing into one community. Please bring a small container of water from your summer (a trip, a backyard pool, even a kitchen sink). If you forget, symbolic water will be provided.
In his homily, “The Two Seas,” Rev. Bill reflects on a timeless secret of a thriving community.
Note the return to our 10:30 a.m. start time!

“Who Are We?”
Sunday, September 14 2025, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Lyon leads this service
Few questions are more basic—or more profound—than “Who am I?” and “Who are we?” In this service, Rev. Bill Lyon reflects on how such questions evolve over time, both in our individual lives and in our life together as a community.
As we search for meaning, answers often spark new questions: What? Where? How? Why?
Bring your curiosity and your courage as we explore not only who we are, but also who we are becoming—together.

“The Roots of Our Reimagining”
Sunday, September 21, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Lyon leads this service
Inventor Charles Kettering once said, “My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” This year at Heritage, we will embark on the ongoing work of imagining our future together. But reimagining requires more than just looking ahead—it also asks us to learn from our past.
In this service, Rev. Bill Lyon invites us to begin the sacred process of balancing roots and vision, tradition and possibility, as we shape our shared journey forward.

“The Quest for At-one-ment”
Sunday, September 28, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Lyon leads this service
This season, our Jewish siblings celebrate the High Holy Days—a time of reflection, repentance, prayer, and reconciliation. At its heart is a yearning for atonement, or as Rev. Bill Lyon frames it, “at-one-ment”: the restoration of harmony with self, with others, and with the Divine. Yet this desire is not unique to Judaism; it is deeply human.
In this service, Rev. Bill invites us to consider how we, as a spiritual community, might support one another in the lifelong work of healing, forgiveness, and becoming whole.
