Have you ever felt like you are alone is this life, or that God was far from you? Let’s explore El Roi or the God that sees us.

Guest sermon by Tamra Schneider

Birth Is Incarnation

Every human being is divine. Each of us is born with inherent worth, in the image of God. Join us for this service where we explore birth as divinity incarnate.

 

Guest preacher: Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom

Who Tells Your Story

History is written by the powerful, but God invites those at the margins to be prophetic interpreters and storytellers. How does the story change depending on who tells it?

No Day But Today

We spend our lives fighting for justice - but the point of the fight is that all may live whole, beautiful, connected lives of creativity and joy. So while we fight, why wait? We are called to come fully alive right here, right now - even as we work towards a better world.

The Devil's Foothold

Rage can be righteous, but if we don’t process and transform it, it will consume us. This week, Sweeney Todd offers a portrait of a man on the wrong path. How can we do better?

(not so) Wicked

Defy gravity and quit playing by the rules of someone else's game! This week, we build the courage to resist systems that script us as villains or “wicked” for being different, powerful, or noncompliant.

To Love Another Person Is to See the Face of God

In a world that punishes the poor and rewards betrayal, Les Misérables shows us that love, grace, and solidarity are revolutionary acts. This week, we’ll explore the daily choices that shape us—will we join the people singing for liberation, or cling to systems that cannot save us?

We Say Poverty No More, We Want Justice for the Poor

The Joy of Rebellion

This week, we take a closer look at Miriam, a prophet, strategist, and teacher who led her people into freedom alongside her brother, Moses.

Birthing Liberation

This week, we hear the story of Shiphrah and Puah, midwives who defied Pharaoh’s orders and protected their people, reminding us that liberation often begins with quiet, courageous resistance.
