"Opening Our Doors, Wide"
by
Rev.
Gretchen
E.
Weis
Changes in technology and culture are opening up new
opportunities for churches in the 21st
Century. What
lessons can the online world teach today’s churches about reaching out,
encouraging engagement and building community?
We are a thriving, vital beloved faith community. And we have a lot to
offer those who are seeking a kinder, gentler, more loving and just
seeking place for themselves and for their children — especially for
families of color, as the hate-filled voices of the KKK and other
neo-hazi right wing groups are on the rise. How can we help others
discover our church and
share in the spirit of love, acceptance and inclusion here? Let us be
intentional and swing our doors open wide to invite in the many seeking
what we have to offer.

"Ingathering. Water Communion" by
Rev.
Gretchen
E. Weis
We
gather
once
more
to begin
a new
church
year
together.
Please
bring
a water
sample,
a symbol
of how
you
spent
your
summer,
to add
to our
shared
water
communal
bowl.
It doesn't
matter
where
your
water
sample
comes
from
- half
a world,
or a
state
or two
away,
or from
the
kitchen
sink,
or the
garden
hose
in your
own
back
yard.
As we
gather,
let
us celebrate
It is
good
to be
together
once
again.
nd,
special
thanks
to the
wonderful
folks
from
the
Religious
Services
Committee
who
provided
such
rich,
thoughtful
and
inspiring
Worship
all
summer
long!
