9/6/2026 The Universe experienced as a Verb Rev Allen Wells

How I De-Nouned Myself and Beheld a Happening.  A short story of how I have turned my perspective on the cosmos inside out and found that to live from what is paradoxical can be salvatory and benevolent.

9/20/2026 Inhibiting Togetherness: Radical Embodiment Rev Melissa Moorer-Nobles

Remember that Spirit and Body are not hierarchical separates, but each inextricable parts of the Divine Life in which we all partake. Being careful with our language and perception of the concept of Body is an important step in creating a place that is safe and welcoming for individual bodies. Spirit chooses to enflesh Itself as a way of experiencing Itself fully. The Body is just as sacred as Spirit, and the societal forces that denigrate the body are pervasive. As we work toward a better world for all, we must not only accept but celebrate our physicality as it is. 

9/27/2026 Carrying the Sacred Rev Mark Cutolo

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan walk together in devotion to Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea. They carry her; they are also carried by the community that forms around the journey. What might this ancient pilgrimage teach us about what we carry, what carries us, and what it means to come home? Today's Ingathering service will include the ritual of Water Communion.
