Culturally, we have a long history of defaulting to masculine language when speaking, both about people and about God. What lessons can we learn from feminine images of the divine, and how can they apply to people of all gender identities? Join Intern Aiden McMahon as he explores the intersection of gender and religious imagery.

Some traditions taught that the body is sacred and then used that very teaching as a reason for shame, building altars out of restriction and making holiness synonymous with denial. This Sunday, we are reclaiming joy itself as a revolutionary act, because choosing pleasure, delight, and full embodiment in a world that has told so many of us to want less, feel less, and take up less space is not indulgence, it is liberation. Come fully, come joyfully, come exactly as you are. Join Rev. Rodney Lemery for this service.

Please join us as we reflect on how do we hold love and resistance in the same hands? When neighbors are taken. When families are torn apart. When lives like Renee Good's and Alex Pretti's from Minnepolis are lost. Bring your grief, your hope, your questions as Rev. Ron Ahnen returns with a witness to share, and together we'll wrestle with what love asks of us in these complicated times.

In the best of times, faith may seem unnecessary. In the worst of times, it may seem in adequate. How does our particular form of faith which affirms our agency in creating the connections and steadfastness use metaphor as a proxy for certainty? Please join Rev. Leslie Takahashi for this service about how we, whether we believe in a more traditional idea of God or not, can find meaning in metaphors of faith.
