Earth Day: Hope or Palliative Care?

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Gary Ezzell
Music: Marimba Soundscapes with Marilyn Clark Silva

While Earth Day is often about how much we love nature, animals, and specific actions we can take, this year, we must acknowledge that we're at a critical point, and possibly a point of no return. When it comes to climate justice, where do we find hope? And, if we can't, how do we prepare for the crises that will continue to increase?

White Supremacy Culture: Conflict and Comfort

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Sarah Montgomery
Music: Vocal Looping with Holly Pyle

As we continue living into our 8th Principle, we'll explore one of the hardest characteristics of White Supremacy Culture—the avoidance of conflict and the need for comfort. We'll talk about what that means for us individually and as a community.

Explorations of Ramadan

Led by: Gary Ezzell
Worship Associate: Sam Kirkland
Music: Classical Clarinet with Erin Finkelstein

Sunset on Saturday, April 2, marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a time for fasting, prayer, and recommitment. What can that faith tradition teach us who are not Muslim? In a word, and a difficult one, "submission".

Flower Communion

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Bill Snowden
Music: Jazz with Renee Patrick and Nicole Pesce

As we conclude our Stewardship month, we will celebrate this community with our beloved Flower Communion, held at the height of Arizona's blooming season. In our Flower Communion, we bring flowers and take a different flower in an act of community. If you are willing and able, feel free to bring a flower or flowers and bring it to the front of the sanctuary at the beginning of service. If you don’t have flowers, we will have plenty for you.

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance

For many of us, our pets keep us grounded, connected, and amused. Today, we take the opportunity to bless them and thank them for the important roles they've had in our lives. For those attending in person, your well-behaved pets are welcome to come for an in-person blessing.
