Sunday Services start at 10:30 a.m.
With a musical service featuring the Pick-Up Choir and the Afterchoir, we enter into what for some of us is a season of hope - for ourselves and our loved ones, for the region and our country, for the world.
Ben and his wife Tanya will lead a baking session, to donate to those in need. All welcome, with a special invitation to families with children and youth. Tanya is experienced at running kitchens, including programming for children and youth.
Bring-Your-Own Bag Lunch get-together. No agenda, just ‘how’s your spirit today’ check-ins and a conversation topic. We’ll start with weekly gatherings and see how that schedule works for the group.
Humans have enormous capacity for creativity and growth, but we can also be creatures of habit and conditioning. Whether the change we crave is within ourselves, our circles, or the larger world, how we meet the moment can make all the difference. Today we explore practices that open the mind and heart to something new.
Having difficult conversations; making difficult decisions Death over Dinner Substitute Decision Maker Decision Points: The end-of-life conveyer belt Preparing survivors for what lies ahead Dealing with grief, finding grief support groups Creating support circles for dependents with special needs

For some, the joy of the season can only be felt if there is also room for grief. In this musical service we make room for both, and also honour those who find only grief at this time. There will be a pastoral circle after the service for those who need extra care.
RIGHTS. How do we work out the problem when my rights conflict with your rights, and one group's conflict with another's? What is a right anyway? Is it absolute?
This service for all ages will acknowledge the longest night of the year and celebrate the return of the light. Join us for an evening ritual of candlelight, story, music and song.
A quiet moment for reflection in the midst of the holiday rush, with readings and carols around our Christmas tree.
Bring a book you're reading, a book you love, or pull one off of the shelf of our library. You'll have the option to share about your book, or just listen to others and join the discussion. You might discover a book you'd like to curl up with on the couch.
Like many traditions at this time of year, Christmas bears witness to the birth of something new. Gather in hope, gather in gladness, gather by candlelight: A child is born.
Irene will tell a story of a Christmas past that brings out the spirit of the season.
