The first in our worship series "A Place We Love," Pastor Megan reflects on where we find hope and nourishment in gloomy times, and how disconnection from our watersheds and bioregions may contribute to that gloom.

Pastor Megan tells the story of her week: listening to her favorite of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches, "A Time to Break Silence" delivered at Riverside Church, listening to a public reading of King's powerful Letter from a Birmingham Jail addressed to white clergy, pondering Matthew's take on the beginning of Jesus' public ministry - beginning with the jailing of John the Baptizer and quoting from Isaiah who was writing to those living in the deep anguish of exile, and finally marching with millions on Saturday.

In her final sermon before being sent with our blessing into her sabbatical, Pastor Amy reflects on the Epiphany story of the magi, power and kingship, and remembering the future of who Jesus will be.

Pastor Megan preaches on the fourth and final Sunday of our Advent "Revolutionary Songs" worship series. She reflects on overhearing someone else's good news - both biblical and contemporary exiles - and joining our voices with Revolutionary Mama Maria's song (Magnificat - Luke 1.46-55), singing ourselves home to God's irresistible shalom vision.

Pastor Megan preaches the second Sunday of Advent, reflecting on hot fires, bouncy anvils, and - of course - revolutionary songs.

Pastor Megan opens our Advent season of Revolutionary Songs with a sermon reflecting on how singing has sustained movements of just peace across time and place.

Pastor Megan preaches the final in our Just Peace series, reflecting on Jesus' teaching to pray for and love our enemies, and telling a story of the prayerful communing of tea-drinking in Israel-Palestine.
