| Sunday Worship Services
|
Join us every Sunday at 11 am in the sanctuary for our worship service. Scroll down for information about upcoming services. Children are welcome, and childcare is also available from 9:30 to 12:30 in the nursery for children under three years old who don't really enjoy adults' worship.
Children and Youth
Children's Religious Education classes and the youth program take place each Sunday during the worship service. Our children attend the service until the reading of a story for all ages. The congregation then sings the children out and they go to their classes. Youth, grades 8 to 12, also attend the service in the sanctuary until after the reading of the story, and then go to the youth room in Hewett Centre.
Click Education in the menu bar above for information about Children and Youth programs.

The Wisdom and Beauty of the Trees
Sunday, February 5, 11 am
Rev. Steven Epperson
This service will celebrate the New Year of Trees, a festival to help us remember that we are part of nature and its riches, not its masters.
We’ll look at the life-giving wisdom and nourishment of trees, rejoice in their gifts and beauty, and recall our need to preserve and protect these gifts for future generations.

Are We Any Nicer?
Sunday, February 19, 11 am
Rev. Steven Epperson
Contrary to blood soaked headlines and scare tactics, it may well be the case that human beings are progressing, not regressing, in our journey toward compassion and peace.
Provoked by Steven Pinker’s recent book, Angels of Our Better Nature, in this service we’ll examine the arguments both for and against this challenging and hopeful (?) proposition.

The Zombies Are Here!
Sunday, February 26, 11 am
Rev. Steven Epperson
What’s with the current zombie craze gripping the popular media and public imagination? There are zombie movies, novels, survivors’ guides, cable TV series, academic conference and articles, even zombie poetry. I kid you not!
Does our fascination, and dread, about the walking dead have something important to tell us about the state of politics, the environment, human relationships, patterns of consumption, and conditions in the work place? Maybe so. Join us for a wild walk on the undead side of life.
Ingathering singing at 10:45 pm with Joyce Poley.
