We welcome all people and celebrate the diversity of our community.We nurture the creative spirit and offer worship that preserves the solace of time-honored tradition while embracing the vitality of fresh perspectives.We support one another as we explore our faith, offering a variety of spiritual experiences for adults and youth alike.We are a community where acceptance, encouragement and love awaken people’s desire to give something back to God, to the community, and to the world.
This informal worship service uses prayers and music from the Iona Community in Scotland. Holy Eucharist is always celebrated at this service. Following the service we have dinner together. The candles from the altar are placed on the dining table to signify that our dinner conversation is as sacred as the words spoken at the Eucharist. Those who attend are encouraged to bring a dish to share. We never know what our dinner will be but we always have plenty for everyone.
