May 11: “Along the Long Road-Experiences During Our Search” - Ministerial Search Committee

May 18: “A Slowly Emerging Sense: The Cosmic Creation Story And Us ”- Dr. Proctor
- Choosing a topic for the sermon on the day of the Annual Meeting is always a challenge, so this morning, I’ve decided to put everything into perspective by addressing the creation of the universe and our place in it — all in twenty-three minutes or less!

May 25: “Growing Up: A Lifelong Affair” - Dr. Proctor
- In this season of graduations and graduation speeches, I’ll offer one intended for those of us in the school of life.

About Our Services
Our weekly Sunday morning services start at 10:30 in an uplifting atmosphere of peace, sharing and celebration. The form of our services varies. Most include a thoughtful sermon and related readings by our minister or a guest; a time for silent, spoken and musical meditation; and opportunities for active participation by the congregation.
An unusual feature of our church is the discussion and feedback following most sermons. Other opportunities to participate include "member musings" by an individual member each week; congregational reading and singing; sharing of personal joys and concerns; or sharingart, music or flowers. In periodic special services, members and youth of the congregation present all or most of the program.
Our services also vary in content. Some address issues central to all religions: whether there is purpose or plan to the universe, and the human role in the total scheme of things. Others concern the application of religious and ethical ideals to the world in which we live. And sometimes, the emphasis is on sheer celebration!
Note: Congregation Members and Friends
* Please remember to get your announcements to the Worship Associate no later than noon on the Thursday prior to the Sunday so that it can be included in the service. Announcements arriving later than that will appear the following week.
