Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on January 12, 2020. The first in a sermon series inspired by the elements of baking.

Telling stories from the past can turn up the heat, but as in baking, the results can be something nourishing.

Assistant Minister Rev. Chris Jimmerson's sermon delivered on December 8, 2019. When we consider the magnitude of our universe; observe the intricate beauty and yet the sometimes seemingly random cruelty of nature; contemplate the mysteries of life and living, we can feel both small and humbled, as well as have a sense of being a meaningful part of something much, much larger than ourselves. We'll explore this sense of awe and how we might cultivate it as a spiritual practice.
