We are a church of open minds.
We are a church of loving hearts.
We are a church of helping hands.
We're a caring community uniting reason with spiritual exploration. We draw on the wisdom of the world's religions and the results of science. We welcome people of all abilities, ages, classes, races, colors, ethnicities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
Is this your first "virtual visit?" I invite you to visit our Welcome page. Or stop by on a Sunday morning. We'd love to meet you in person.
Rev. Fritz Hudson, Minister

Upcoming Sunday Services
May 18 — “Beauty Deeper Still”
A Share-the-Plate Sunday
Springtime's beauty, for all its pleasure, may be a bit too easy on our soul. Laziness may have limited spiritual value. Still I wonder if this season's ease can train us to see beauty, less apparent, year round.
Speaker: Fritz Hudson
Music: Bill Zieg, piano; Christina Buchholz, piano
Share-the-Plate Recipient: Interfaith Housing Project
May 25 — “Give Our Deaths Their Meaning”
How do you honor those with the discipline "to march into extreme danger to carry out wholeheartedly a mission about which you yourself are deeply skeptical"?(Garrison Keillor) Is there a warrior spirit civilians are called upon to honor even in opposition and protest"
Service Leader: Paula Ray
Music: Celeste Case-Ruchala, clarinet

Auditorium Art
Thanks to Quilt Artist, Phyllis Higley, for loaning the quilt displayed behind the pulpit. She writes,
"The quilt 'Hexapod Hullabaloo' was inspired by my husband, who is an entomologist. All of the fabrics in it contain insect motifs and the quilting pattern is of flies and flight patterns. I wanted a wild, colorful quilt that showcased the wide variety of insect fabrics that are available, and I truly did get a hullabaloo.”
