Upcoming Services

Quiet Beginning
(Rev. Lee Paczulla)
This Sunday, January 29th 11 am, in person & on Zoom

Our relationship to work can be… complicated. Human beings long to be useful, to see the value and meaning behind what we do in the world. Yet we know, on some level, that we’re not here just to “earn a living.” In these days of "quiet quitting," in the aftermath of the Great Resignation and all that's come with it, it feels truer than ever what the poet Maya Angelou said: that “making a living is not the same as making a life.” In this sermon we’ll explore our experiences with work – and examine a bit more closely what it truly means to begin on our journey, to make a whole and full life.
