Weekly Worship
Every Sunday, the Fellowship starts our day with a meaningful, multigenerational worship service. We gather in our Meeting Room to sing, share, learn, and inspire each other. No matter your age, we invite you to join us. We have hearing assistive devices and real time closed captioning for those with hearing accessibility needs. We offer activity bags for those who need an extra quiet activity to help their focus. And you can follow along with our printed order of service or the projection screen at the front of the room. If gathering in the Meeting Room doesn’t work for you, we stream our service online and to other rooms in the building.
Social Hour
Following the service, we gather in community to share in some refreshments served by our dedicated Green Apron volunteers. Some days these are light snacks and other days they can be delicious meals…always with coffee and tea. Sit and make new friends. Reconnect with old friends. You can often gather information and see how you can get more involved from one or two of our Justice Groups or Ministry Teams. Explore our patio or 6 acres of grounds. Walk our meditative Labyrinth and experience our Whispering Wall. Play in our Gaga pit or on our Playground. Sit in our Memorial Garden and make a call on our Wind Phone.
Religious Education
The third part of the day is our Religious Education Hour, which can vary in content, but will always find ways for all ages to expand in their own independent search for truth and meaning.
About once a month, we will continue the aforementioned community time into our Religious Education Hour encouraging all ages to interact with each other in organic and self-directed ways. We may assist with prompts or by holding an information fair, but we hope to give you the space to get to know each other more.
Twice a month, we will split into age and stage-specific classes to delve deeper into that month’s Soul Matter Theme. Classes are led by dedicated volunteers who will use multiple modalities to engage children and adults alike in the material. Children’s classes are divided into PreK-Kindergarten, 1st-2nd Grades, 3rd-4th Grades, and 6th-8th Grades.
Finally, (about) once a month, we will offer alternative classes and programs to help explore different topics and themes such as the Odyssey Project or Open Questions; children’s classes are led by our Ministry Groups and Social Justice Teams; or Social Justice Projects, like letter writing campaigns or meal prep for local partners that serve those in need.
No matter the Sunday, we have an exciting, engaging, and impactful plan for all ages to help you and your family live into our shared values of Justice, Empathy, Tolerance, Pluralism, Interdependence, and Generosity with Love at the Center of it all.
