SUMMARY:Worship Service - “Hope Revival”
DESCRIPTION:Does hope feel elusive to you\, given all the difficulties our planet is facing right now? Join Rev. Dana and AnnMarie Kajencki as we share key teachings and insights from our recent class\, The Hope Portal. We will explore what Krista Tippett calls “a muscular hope\,” one that can hold the weight of this moment. \nOur sanctuary will be going through repairs\, so we will have our own tent revival at the church\, outside under canopies between our two buildings. \n  \nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - “LESSONS FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS”
DESCRIPTION:When we think of elves\, dwarves\, kings\, and wizards\, we often think of childish fairytales or video games. But the works of J.R.R. Tolkien not only defined genres—they also brought with them many lessons we can turn to\, especially in difficult times. Themes of friendship\, hope\, courage\, and even a bit of humor run through his stories. Join Worship Associates Pedro Lopez and Tam Paquette in exploring what a saga inspired by Anglo-Saxon mythology can teach us. \n  \n\n\n\n\nClick Here for the Zoom Link!
