Welcome to Our Church!
When you first walk through our doors it's hard not to notice the age and beauty of the building. In 2027 we will be celebrating our bi-centennial and it's plain to see that this congregation has loved and cared for its church.
As you mingle with the others arriving you'll be joining people who dress comfortably, stylishly or somewhere in between. They greet and talk to one another and there's lots of laughter. You'll see young children playing, and older children socializing. Check the bulletin boards and you'll see fliers for community activities and other events taking place at the church because this building is used by many groups.
During the service it will be affirmed that all are welcome and all are worthy. We are a Welcoming Congregation and celebrate the lives of all people; whoever they are, wherever they're from, and whoever they love.
When the service is over you are invited to join us for coffee hour. The china mugs and cloth napkins we use are the most visible evidence of our Green Sanctuary accreditation. We connect our spiritual practice with environmental consciousness and strive to create a sustainable lifestyle in harmony with the environment in all aspects of our church life.
Our congregation of over 120 members is thriving. The Circle Suppers, Adult Ed classes, Small Group Ministry, & Pre-school play groups help us maintain a sense of closeness even as our doors and hearts are opened to more people. We are a growing church seeking ways to deeply explore what is spiritual and ethical, to serve the community, and to live our beliefs in the world.

Sunday Service 10 a.m.
January 29: “Why Is There Air?””
Rev. David W. Chandler
Ask the Minister is your time to do just that. Do you want to know where he was and what he’s been up to? What he thinks and what he feels? What might be different after his sabbatical, and what might be the same? Ask away on this day.

January 22: “New and Improved”
Rev. David W. Chandler
Four out of five doctors agree successful sabbaticals measurably strengthen church vitality. So how does that happen anyway? Rev. Chandler will talk about his four months away from the congregation – and how that might improve him and our church alike. No antacids required

January 15: “It’s Lonely at the Top”
Rev. David W. Chandler
Randy Newman’s song has long been a classic of sarcastic social commentary. On Martin Luther King Sunday, we will note the events of this past fall. At least some people are not laughing any more. How should we come to grips with the gaping divides in our society? What wisdom might Dr. King’s life offer us now?

January 8: “Janus Service”
Rev. David W. Chandler
The end of the holidays, the beginning of the New Year and heading into the depth of winter – this is a time of ambivalent feelings for many. This is Rev. Chandler’s first service after returning from sabbatical. We will join together in celebrating our traditional ritual of renewal, using the Janus box to let go what must now
be put in the past and affirming our hopes and dreams for growth in 2012.
No Church School.
