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.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali said, “what we truly worship we make sacred.” In a broad sense, how do you “worship?” Quiet walks in the woods? Moments of meditation? Meaningful conversation? And how does our spiritual community experience sacred space together?Pastor Don will explore how space becomes imbued for us with a deep sense of connection. As we prepare to move, we’ll consider what’s needed for the space to nurture our beloved community. Join us in the Sanctuary or click here to watch on Facebook.

Sacred Seeds
Sunday, March 30, 2025, 11AM
Spiritual Director Jackie Trottman wisely said, "Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds, the harvest will bring either flowers or weeds.” As spring births this new earth, what are you birthing? Are you balancing your birthing with also harvesting with the heart? Reverend Kim Marie will explore nature and spiritual teachings along with a seed sharing ritual to "plant" more of what you wish to grow. Music from soul filled Karen McFeeters.
