WORSHIP SERVICE

"The Way Forward"  
Sunday, November 8, 10:50 am, 2026
Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister, preaching

​​​​​

No matter what happens on Tuesday, however our nation's leadership in Washington, Sacramento, even at our local City Halls, changes, you and I will need to decide how to move forward to shape the city, state, and nation (as much as possible) to serve the values we hold dear in the great tumble that is democracy and the sacred obligations of its citizens. It is our civic work and also our religious and spiritual work and calling! So we gather to reflect in the shadow (or beacon) of Tuesday's election results.

Amahl & the Night Visitors

an opera by Gian Carlo Menotti

​

December 10,11,12

6:30 pm to 9:00 pm in the Sanctuary

​

Amahl and the Night Visitors, a 55 minute operetta sung in English, that delights those who know it and enchants new audiences. To know the story and music is to fall in love with the holiday season in a brand new way. Yes, there’s the miracle of generosity and yes, hospitality for the stranger, but it’s the love between a boy and his mother, sung with tenderness and humor, that will make you remember why we all need hope, even in hopeless times.
