“Consuming Convenience”
American Experiment Pulpit Exchange
10:30 am
Rev. Michael Tino
The United States economy has been set up to privilege consumption and convenience without regard for the downstream effects of those things on communities, individuals, or the environment. How can we restructure our lives and our communities to value sustainability? Can we make commitments to changing our practices?.
|
Rev. Michael Tino will visit us three times this year for a forward-looking pulpit exchange grounded in partnership and shared faith. See our
Facebook Group
for more information.

Here are the latest opportunities to deepen
your faith and connect with our community.

Congregational Meeting and Potluck!
Sunday, Oct 28, After Worship Service, 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm
Let’s get together for a “Town Hall” congregational meeting and potluck! The Finance Committee will present an update report, and we’ll talk about some big questions:
- What initiatives do we have to live our mission of shaping the world in our image of love?
- Shall we become a Sanctuary congregation?
Please bring a dish to share: Sign up for the potluck on the orange sheet on the window in the lobby. Let’s have lunch, talk, listen - and be heard!
