Altar from Sunday, April 28.
A Different Kind of Sunday Morning –
Join us on 4th & 5th Sundays!
4th Sunday Prayer Vigil for the Care of Creation - June 23 - "clean water for all"
Through July, on the 4th Sunday of each month, the 10 am gathering will be a prayer service in the style of the community of Taizé.
While our service is in this style - it is not specifically Christian. The readings and prayers are taken from many different sources and spiritual traditions, and our hope is that ALL people desiring to hold a sacred space for meditation and prayer will gather with us.
Our focus is the good gift of creation and our Mother Earth. We unite to pray for the urgent need to find solutions to the urgent climate crises facing our common home.
The general outline of our time together is:
- meditative singing together
- a responsorial reading followed by another short reading for reflection
- 10 minutes of silence for meditation
- intercessory and reflective prayer, followed by a unison prayer
- an extended time of meditative singing at the end
- silent space for those wishing to stay longer
You will also experience:
- an atmosphere of meditation and peace
- beautiful artwork and altar for reflection
- an opportunity to visit with others in the coffee and fellowship time afterwards (next door in the hall)
If you have never experienced this sort of service before, no worries. It is easy to follow and the singing leads you to a place of meditation and mindfulness. Or you don't have to sing at all. Plan ahead.
Next dates are: June 23, & July 28.

5th Sunday - Love of Neighbor "Service Sunday" - June 30
Our next service Sunday will be June 30, and is focused on creating welcome packets for World Relief in Sacramento. This organization provides comprehensive services for refugees, and as the largest resettlement location in the USA, Sacramento welcomed over 5000 refugees in 2018 alone. The majority of these newcomers are special immigrant visa holders who served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
There are shopping lists in the fellowship hall - you can buy/bring as much or as little as you can manage. We'll put everything together and the Namenys will then transport the goods to Sacramento.
You can read more about World Relief on their web-site.
Did you know? June 20 has been declared by the UN as "World Refugee Day"
If you are unable to attend, on Sunday morning June 30, but would like to contribute items for the kits, here's the link to a shopping list.
