Join us each Sunday for in-person worship or livestreamed on our YouTube page. Services are open and accessible to all. Music sung and played draws us closer to God; God’s word read and proclaimed strengthen us for the week ahead, and prayers lifted up remind us of local and global needs.

November 16

The Empty Chair at the Holiday Table – Presenter is Lucy Deutsch, Retired Geriatric Manager

Join us for this gentle and thoughtful presentation and conversation about grief during the holiday season. When someone we love is no longer with us, holidays can stir deep sorrow alongside cherished memories. We’ll talk about how to honor that empty chair, navigate the emotional complexities of the season, and find meaningful ways to cope and connect. Whether your loss is recent or long-standing. We'll talk about how you can adapt holiday celebrations to ever-changing family dynamics and how to find joy and peace amidst the sadness.

More details to follow, but please let Elizabeth know about potential interest in making this event happen.
