Saturday, October 3, 3:00 – 5:00 PM – Building a New Way
A Gathering of Our Social Justice Ministries
Facilitated by Rev. Allison Farnum, Sabbatical Support Minister, register HERE.
The world is asking hard questions of us right now — and we believe our congregation has something powerful to offer in response.
Join us for Building a New Way, a conversation and community planning gathering where we come together not to return to what didn’t serve us, but to imagine — and start building — what comes next. This is a space to dream boldly about our shared work for justice, to talk honestly about the crises unfolding around us, and to ask: how do we want to show up? Not just for ourselves, but alongside our community partners and, most importantly, alongside those most impacted by systemic oppression in our own backyard. Come with your questions. Come with your hopes. Come ready to listen, to imagine, and to help chart the path forward.
Saturday, October 10, 5:00 PM – Soup Saturday
Join us for a low-key evening of fun, friends, conversation, and a potluck dinner. Soup is welcome! But feel free to bring whatever other potluck food you wish to share (including vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options), bread, sides, maybe dessert… and your appetite! Games to share are also welcome.
Please direct questions to Angie or Matt (angiebaby826@yahoo.com or matthew_demers@yahoo.com).
Sunday, October 11, 10:00 & 11:00 AM – Drag Queen Sunday
