  • Are We Listening?
    This month the theme of the Soul Matters groups is deep listening. This Sunday, October 13th, Rev. Ed Brock will engage with this subject by reflecting on what it means to listen. For most of us quite often listening fails to be an opportunity to genuinely understand someone. This has a social impact. In April of 2023 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation,” describing that about half of U.S. adults reported experiencing measurable levels of loneliness – many people have no one to talk to. This Sunday Rev. Ed will talk about two people who exhibited the power of listening and why it matters. We look forward to seeing you Sunday.

    Message from the Board President

    • 9/18/24
      Dear Friends, Wow, what a kickoff to our church year! We had a blast at the Ingathering Picnic, and it was amazing to see our church buzzing with energy as our religious education classes got underway! Our church leadership just wrapped up a retreat where we dreamt big and set some super exciting goals for the year. We’re all about making it easier for you to get involved and ramping up our volunteer spirit! Our ministerial search is rolling full steam ahead, and your input is key. If you haven’t filled out the search team’s survey yet, now’s the time—your thoughts matter! And get ready for a bright future! Our solar installation is kicking off in a few weeks, so keep an eye out for those solar panels. One of our big goals is to add a kitchen, which is a bit of a puzzle since it involves moving things around without a building expansion. ...

    Words of Wisdom

    • My Principles
      “I have a total of 29 principles. I want to share some of them with you: 1. Be grateful as often as possible and as deeply as possible for as many things as possible. 2. Act responsibly even when other people act irresponsibly. 3. Create win-win solutions. 4. Always take full responsibility for your words, actions, and reactions. 5. Be kind to everyone for each person carries a hidden burden. 6. Focus on facts rather than assumptions, imagination, fantasy, or emotionally driven thinking. 7. Be present, empathetic, and responsive to, but not responsible for, others.” —Rev. Ed Brock, January 21, 2024
