The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us,
is itself a marvelous victory.

Worship Matters
Please plan to join us for worship this coming Sunday, July 29 as we continue our Summer Worship Series “Sharing the Stories of Living Our Faith,” with a personal reflection and discussion led by our minister, Dawn Daniels.
We find by losing. We hold fast by letting go. We become something new by ceasing to be something old… Out of each old self that dies some precious essence is preserved for the new self that is born; and within the child-self that is part of us all, there is perhaps nothing more precious than the fathomless capacity to trust.
~ Frederick Buechner
You can read more about our monthly theme as well as explore some supplemental resources here. And if you happen to miss being in worship on any given Sunday, the texts to previous sermon messages (and some of the readings as well) can be found in our website sermon archive.
