Sunday Services start at 10:30 a.m.

 

Yes, And… (with a New Member Ceremony)

"Yes, and..." means saying yes to opportunities that arise in life, while adding your own touch. This is part of a series on the blossoming of spring. During the service we will have a new member ceremony.

Planting Seeds

On Mother's Day, we'll explore the active hope found in planting seeds and creating the new.

Laws of New Life

Kevin Kelly edited the Whole Earth Review and then Wired Magazine. We'll explore his "9 laws of god" for creating new ecosystems, whether in the natural or the human world. Plan for extra time to get here due to the Bluenose Marathon.

From the Depths (stay for soup & the AGM)

Joe Britto will be back from visiting Poland, having done a walking tour of "Jewish" Krakow, visiting Auschwitz, and praying in synagogues.

Service: From Despair to Hope
