Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting
We’ve talked about opening to joy the last few weeks – now let’s make some! This morning, we’ll sing and play together even as the longest night of the year approaches. And we’ll share in the joy of welcoming a new member! You’ll be invited to speak during the service.

Our Share the Plate this week Catalyst for Change.
Catalyst for Change serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Dane County. They provide street outreach and mediation to assist people with community services.
