Beginning on March 15, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we began offering on-line services.  You can watch videos of those services here. You can also read some of Rev. Julie’s Sunday reflections on her blog, here.

Our sermon archive is below. Click on a month to hide/show its dates, speakers and titles.

A note: Ideally a sermon is an experience that takes place in the context of worship – supported by music, silence, and a gathered community. In that way, it is just one part of an extended conversation that happens over time between a minister and a covenanted community.

(The sermons are in PDF format. Many programs read PDFs, including the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, available here.)
