What is after will be better Speaker: Reverend Kerry Mueller
This is the first in a series called The Spiral of Compassion. We will look closely at compassion, which is a powerful element in every religion. Come and think about what compassion means and how we can cultivate it in ourselves and our communities.
Sympathy for the Grinch Lay Speaker:Emily Quarles-Mowrer
The day after Halloween, there was a motorized Santa climbing up and down a ladder in my local Target to the tune of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” We go directly from pumpkin spice lattes to Lexus’s December to remember and we are expected to believe that it is “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Perhaps the Grinch had a point about the “Noise! Noise! NOISE! NOISE!”Join us as we try to remember the joy in a secular Christmas.
Please join us for our Third Sunday Potluck which will follow the service.

Speaker: Reverend Kerry Mueller
Come enjoy a Christmas Eve service for all ages and all theologies. A good story, lots of singing, and a chance to share with those less fortunate. Oh, and a special amusement for those with a philosophical turn of mind! Please bring something for the Mitten Tree.
