"The Living Room" is a time of informal worship wherever you are. We understand that you're "Zoomed out" after a long week of online classes. This time of worship can be a time with screens on or off. It's a time of scripture, reflection, prayer, and music. To watch, follow the link to our Youtube page. To listen on the go, follow the link to our worship podcast on SoundCloud.
If you'd like to participate in worship by doing a reading, offering a liturgy, speaking, providing music, etc., contact Tim Kobler.

In times of heightened tension, division, and expressions of hate, faith, spiritual and secular communities have a vital role to play in being stewards of resilience, collective courage, and creating braver space in the presence of difference. Meals of Meaning provide an opportunity for students to come together for a virtual dinner conversation (meal provided) and the chance to go beneath the surface, lean into vulnerability, and explore the struggles and stories that make up our lives. Sign up for a day/time that works for you.
When you register, select the mealtime that works for you! Each mealtime has a designated pick up time for food and location associated with it, so please check the details to see when and where to pick up your meal.
