Spiritual Growth as a Practical Matter
Spirituality is as practical and necessary as hard-nosed science. It is not, as some critics put it, “just another lens” for seeing the world around us; it’s THE WAY we see it. To continue to refine our “lens” is to grow spiritually. Faith communities are those sacred spaces where we find the tools we need for the refining process. Let’s explore what can help… and what probably won’t. Worship Leaders this week are Matthew Mason, guest speaker Mark Haskett, and Sydney Gorham.
Forming and Formation: Bridging our Youth
Our early years are a precious period, and the spiritual lessons we learn then shape us for the rest of our lives. Join us in celebrating the faith formation of our children, of which we are all a part. Worship Leaders this week are Rev. Darcy, Todd Whiteley, and Sabine Klein.
The Time in Between
Beginnings and endings tend to be clear cut. Sure, they can be hard and even complex, but the expectations they provide are clear—you start and stop. But what about the time in between? How do you keep yourself motivated when the beginning is behind you and the end is not yet in sight? In this sermon we will explore the time in between and examine ways to cultivate motivation and excitement in these liminal spaces. Worship leaders this week are Zackrie Vinczen, Sharon Arpoika, and Sabine Klein.

Living by Liberal Faith

Jay Atkinson will join Avonelle Tomlinson and Sabine Klein in leading worship.
