  • “Room at the Table” – Rev. Bill Gupton

    Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 10:30 a.m.

    This Thanksgiving weekend, many of us have welcomed others to our table – or have been guests at another’s table. This practice of hospitality – of welcoming – cuts across all cultures, religions, and eras. As such, it appears to be an innate expression of the human spirit, a sacred manifestation of our belief in the “inherent worth and dignity of every person.” Today, let us reflect on this practice, let us celebrate being welcomed at the table – and let us commit to making room at our table, for all those who seek sanctuary with us.

  • “With Thanks for All Our Blessings” – Rev. Bill Gupton

    Sunday November 24, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

    Sometimes it may be hard to believe, but we are extremely blessed and Thanksgiving calls us to acknowledge those blessings. Join the Heritage family this Thanksgiving Sunday for all the traditions you have come to expect (and maybe take for granted): a message of profound gratitude, lovely music from our choir, our annual Bread Communion, intergenerational community, and maybe even an update from Lake Hope.

  • “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.

  • “Playing for Peace” – Laci Lee Adams

    Sunday October 20, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

    How can we teach empathy, encourage tolerance, and better respect diversity for ourselves, with our children, and in our communities? One way can be playing for peace! Join us for this all ages worship service as we discover peace through play, meditation, music, and more! The activities and experiences of our annual Peace Camp will inspire the service, including the blessing of the peace pole created by our peace campers.
