Animal Blessing Service
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
The unconditional love we receive from our animal friends and family members is a gift. In honor of all they have given us, today we offer them a blessing of love, happiness, and good health as we are reminded that our lives are so much better with animals. Please send us photos of your beloved pets, indicating whether they are alive or with the ancestors.

It’s back!
2nd Sundays are Justice Sundays!
A delicious way our children and youth enjoy supporting community causes is by selling bagels after the service. Every other month, WE will vote for the organization it would like to support, then set up tables on the patio to raise money. Please expect your child or youth to stay 30-45 minutes after the service to help sell, serve, and clean up. Thank you!
This is love in action!

Chalice is going purple October 11!
