Sunday, October 4th, 11am: "Weaving a Balanced Web: Matriarchy, Partnership, and Peace." For centuries, we have been told that hierarchy and dominance are the only ways to organize human society. Join Rev. Renée as we explore the ancient and urgent alternatives—from matriarchal traditions to partnership models—that offer a blueprint for a world built on mutual respect rather than power over one another.

10am Mindful Discussions for Adults

This Sunday's Topic: "The History of Heaven." The belief in heaven—a realm or state where people continue to exist after death—has a long and varied history. It did not begin with Christianity. Ideas about an afterlife developed independently in several ancient cultures, and the meaning of "heaven" has changed considerably over time. Join us to share your thoughts.

Youth are always welcome to participate in the Mindful Discussions, and childcare is available for ages 0-10 starting at 9:45am.

We're delighted to share that Joseph and Kaylee Armendariz have welcomed Mel Andrew Armendariz to their family! 

He was born at 10lbs 6oz, 22inches long and is already very loved. He and Kaylee are both doing well.

If you would like to support the Armendariz Family with meals or gift cards as they begin the next marathon of infanthood here is the link to their meal train! https://mealtrain.com/99z586
