Taize first Sunday of every month Feb. 4 Taize is a meditative form of worship including silence, scripture readings and chanting.
Church Mission Encouraging awe and loving intimacy with all of creation and the cosmos, we explore the visual and performing arts, dreams, wisdom teachings of Christ-Sophia in the Bible and newly found gnostic gospels, prayer, social activism, and relationships as we work to care for our common home Mother Earth, in a new kind of local and global community. We are a home church with people around the world via the Internet, exploring a new eco-feminist religious story for our time. 
Movie night Saturday Feb. 17th 7 pm with discussion "An Evening with Rupert Sheldrake"
Popcorn and discussion!

Our Common Home a church and counseling center's new mission statement.
Our Common Home provides religious and psychological services to awaken to the moral and ecologic crisis as an invitation for spiritual growth and creating loving community with all of creation, caring for our common home, Mother Earth. 
Healing and Prayer Service
third Sunday of every month at 5 pm
Jesus was a healer and the Christian tradition of prayer and hands on healing has too often been left out of some churches in recent times. We will begin conversation and explore, not a supernatural God or a God who is omnipotent, but rather the God of love who is omnipresent and who wants our healing and wholeness.
Prayer

Mother/Father God who is within us, we celebrate your many names. Your wisdom come, your will be done, unfolding from the depths within us. Each day you give us all that we need. You remind us of our limits and we let go. You support us in our power and we act with courage. For you are the dwelling place within us, the empowerment around us, and the celebration among us, now and forever. Amen
