Join us for worship
Our progressive worship encourages questions, doubts, and the evolution of beliefs. We place great value on inclusivity and diversity in our community of faith. Worship provides opportunities for people from various backgrounds, cultures, and identities to come together to explore their spirituality.
Being part of a supportive faith community helps us find strength and resilience in difficult times, reminding us that we are not alone on our journey.
Our congregational prayer expresses gratitude and hope for our community and the world:
Loving Spirit, who is in all creation,
Your wisdom and love endure forever.
You are our hope, our source of strength.
Open us to your love that embraces,
nourishes and sustains us.
Give us courage through life’s challenges.
Help us to create a world that is peaceful,
just, and accepting of all,
A world in which we are one with you and with each other.
Guide us in our efforts to heal relationships
and live in harmony.
Refresh our spirits when we have been hurt,
And help us to show compassion
and forgiveness to those who hurt us.
Encourage us to be generous
and to recognize the needs of others.
Loving Spirit, thank you for the awesome beauty
that surrounds and uplifts us.
Inspire us to be caring stewards o
f this wondrous Earth.
With your help, all things are possible.
Amen
