"We Come Together:
Gathering in Spirit, Growing in Love"
Rev. Rebecca Rickey
11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Gathering in groups to fellowship, talk, enjoy food, and support one another has been a thing since the early beginnings of civilization. Entire social, cultural, religious, and political movements have risen from, and been supported by, small gatherings. And humans thrive on the social support, safety, love and compassion that is found in the welcoming space of fellowship. Let’s explore how our being together opens our hearts and minds and helps change our thinking, our lives, and the world in new and positive ways. Let’s come together!

“The Greatest of These..."
Rev. Rebecca Rickey
11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Valentine’s Day is upon us and love is in the air. It’s all hearts and flowers, and candy and greeting cards, right? It’s that day each year when we show our “special ones” how much we love them. It can also be a time fraught with unmet expectations, disappointments, and even resentment. I invite us to look beyond the chocolates and candy hearts to explore the deepest and most enduring kind of love…the love of God for us and in us. Love is not something we earn or lose; it is the very essence of who we are and the spiritual power that heals, restores, and transforms our lives. Let’s explore together the love that is constant, inclusive, unconditional, and never disappoints. Please join us.
