Statement from our Minister
We believe very strongly that worship ought to be relevant to peoples’ lives. It must speak to the soul-seeking, day-to-day spiritual needs created by what is often a technologically overwhelming, violent, information-saturated, consumerist society. People come through our doors seeking meaning and purpose, and needing sustenance and strength to face their daily challenges.
Worship then, must acknowledge the painful realities of life and still affirm hope and humanity’s enduring promise, reminding people that they are not alone. Life is full of complexity and ambiguity, and worship must address this reality. It must also celebrate beauty and joy, testifying to the strength of humanity, the wonder of the natural world, the gifts of faith, and the power of community.
~ Reverend Dr. Kristen Harper
