Reclaiming the Bible – Rev. Ed Proulx
SanctuaryThe Bible is one of the least understood books in all of history. It can be used as a light to shine your way; it can be used as a crutch to hold you up; it can be used like a wedge to divide us from each other; it can be used as a hammer to manipuluate. Our Worship Services are weekly reflections weaving together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire us, and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our [...]

Loving baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet is not an exclusive right, reserved for a select few. What it means to be American seems to have changed and we think it's time to change it back. Having different opinions about the use and value of these things is not un-American, it is essentially American. Our Worship Services are weekly reflections weaving together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire us, and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in [...] |

If we can be fully open to our senses- all six (?) of them- we may be inspired by our encounters with everyday objects, beings, and places to find greater meaning for our lives. Thoreau and Emerson wrote extensively on their "direct experience of the Divine in Nature." Rev. Dan King returns to share reflections on how we can promote an awareness of an essence greater than ourselves. Our Worship Services are weekly reflections weaving together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge.
