Sanctuary Plant Care Volunteer Needed
Do you have a green thumb or simply enjoy caring for plants? Our Sanctuary is home to several beautiful plants that help create a warm, peaceful, and welcoming worship space each week. We're looking for a volunteer who would enjoy adopting this ministry by watering, pruning, and helping our plants thrive throughout the year. If spending a little time caring for these living companions sounds like something that would bring you joy, we'd love to hear from you!
Alabama Pilgrimage In 2027
Join us for a transformative pilgrimage to Alabama from Monday, March 29, 2027, through Friday, April 2, 2027. Together, we will journey through significant sites of the Civil Rights Movement, deepening our understanding of the struggle for justice, the courage of those who led the movement, and the ongoing work of equity and liberation.
This pilgrimage offers opportunities for reflection, learning, community building, and spiritual renewal as we walk in the footsteps of those who changed our nation. “Pilgrims” will return inspired, challenged, and renewed in their commitment to justice and beloved community.
