Please join us in person or online live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am. You can also join us for a live service in the courtyard at 11:00 am.
If the weather is very hot or rainy, we will meet inside. All inside services continue to be masked.
As we face continued uncertainty with COVID variant surges and the suffering of our world in war and climate chaos, the work of the church goes on. I am grateful for the work of a small team of people who began a conversation last year about how structural racism relates to our use of sacred music.
On Friday, September 10, at 11:00 am, a memorial Eucharist for Jonna Alexander will be held in the church sanctuary (at 25% capacity), with overflow seating in the Parish Hall. It will also be streamed live on Vimeo, Facebook and YouTube. A reception will be held after the service in the courtyard. The service booklet for the service may be downloaded here.
Many of our connections that predate the pandemic have grown stronger, and even some new ones have grown deeper
The month of August is the perfect time to pick up a backpack and school supplies to help support local children in the foster-care system. Donations can be dropped off at the church on Sunday mornings inside the courtyard doors, or you can bring them during the week (call first). Monetary gifts are also very welcome to help “fill in the blanks” when more supplies are needed to complete the backpacks. Please bring your donations the next three Sundays—August 8, 15 & 22.
One melodic composer you’ll hear on Sunday during the offertory is Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847). Fanny was the older sister of fellow composer Felix Mendelssohn. She is finally starting to get the recognition she deserves as a monumental composer of over 400 pieces, particularly for voice and piano, matching the genius of her more famous brother.
