In March, the theme is the Practice of Trust


Face the Music and Dance

Sunday morning at 10am

with Chaplain Michael Eselun

Popular guest speaker, and UCLA oncology chaplain, Michael Eselun will explore the dance we do between acceptance and self-compassion. If we reach for acceptance of our circumstances as a pathway to inner peace, what part does self-compassion play?

Families welcome! The Joy Corner is open!

Children will be led by the Lamp of Love to their RE spaces partway through the service.


March 9–

Families Care – Once again, children will build care kits for unhoused people. During Coffee Hour, children will hand out these kits to adults so that they can be distributed in the wider community. This will be our final Families Care event for this church year.


Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.
