January’s Worship Theme: “Wintering”

“Regeneration.” December’s worship theme is “Wintering.”

Serenity and Wisdom

Time Without Winter
This Sunday, we consider how climate change and modern living makes
the experience of winter less possible. We consider what might be lost
without the rhythm of cold, dark winter nights to ground us and what
important lessons we may carry forward into a warmer future.
