Tending the Garden
Rev. Patty Hanneman
Music: Judith Lyon-Mitchell, Kate Lewis

We begin with the earth that supports our house of hope – the home that gives us birth and is our final resting place. Progressive theology affirms that our “salvation” belongs in this world, not the next. How does this affect the way we regard the earth itself and the hope for a life that is just, abundant, and sustainable for all?

Summer Worship Services

This summer will include a series of sermons, loosely based on the book, A House for Hope: the Promise of Progressive Religion for the Twenty-first Century, by John A. Buehrens and Rebecca Ann Parker.

The book uses the metaphor of a house to describe the various pieces of congregational life that give our hopes and dreams shape and meaning. Each Sunday will focus on a different dimension of the house, each of which corresponds to one of the classic issues of progressive theology and congregational life.
