Music & Spirit Service
Sunday Schedule is below
Join us online or tune in on Facebook Live!
We believe that music is a portal through which we may experience ultimate reality.
Just as there are many spiritual paths that lead to meaning, there are many musical routes to spiritual experience.
Our music includes acoustic folk, Hindu kirtan, piano and organ, choral anthems, classical harp and chamber music, and indigenous music. Along with music, the services combine spiritual readings and reflections on world issues and personal values, as well as Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist and Native American beliefs and sacred texts. Spiritual healing is quietly woven throughout the service.
Gathering members are welcome to light a candle to commemorate a prayer or event.

Divine Renewal Within Us
Easter Sunday, April 5, 11 am
Many spiritual traditions celebrate spring as a sacred season of renewal and new life. The Spring Equinox marks the return of light and balance in nature; Passover proclaims liberation and new beginnings; Easter celebrates resurrection and hope; and many faiths honor this season as a time of awakening and transformation. At Music & Spirit on Sunday, April 5th, Easter morning at 11:00 a.m., Pastor Don will reflect on how the promise of renewal lives not only in sacred stories but within each of us, inviting awakening, freedom, and new life. Music will be provided by Karen McFeeters. Join us in the Sanctuary at Meach Cove, or click here to watch on Facebook.

Transformation in Imagination
Sunday, April 26, 11 am
Using the imagination as a tool for transformation is a form of magical remembering, as we are all capable of being conscious creators. Rev. Kim Marie Glynn will be asking us to imagine what we wish in our lives, our community and the world and teaching visioning spiritual tools for creation. In the words of Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution" . Music will be provided by Stephen Coronella.
