We support people in their search for truth and meaning

Being Present with Yourself

,

“…in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” (from Desiderata)  This service, led by Merrill Thomsen and Susan Kaphammer, will be sparse of words to offer time to experience and reflect on solitude as a spiritual practice.

Who We Are

Who We Are

We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace. We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.

About Us
What We Do

What We Do

We gather in community. We gather on Sundays for Worship, For Religious Education for children and youth, for fun and fellowship, and on the first Sunday of the month for pancakes. We gather for special events and classes, to make music and create art and to be together in community. We gather to serve one another and the larger community, to join each other in our search for truth and meaning, and to celebrate together.
