"When Love Comes Knocking” - Rev. Dr. Michael Tino
Poet Nikita Gill, in a blessing of a poem for the beginning of 2026, tells us that “when love comes knocking, do not doubt it. Instead open the door with warmth and let it in.” Sometimes, love comes knocking from unexpected sources. We will experience that love and allow it to challenge us to practice our faith in deeper and more liberatory ways.
Join us in person this Sunday at 10:00am for an hour-long service followed immediately by a coffee hour featuring refreshments and snacks. All are welcome.

Sundays for children and youth
Children are encouraged to join their families in the sanctuary where they are welcome to help ring the building’s bell. After the first 15-20 minutes of the service, they have the option of joining the religious exploration leader in the adjoining hall for activities and age-appropriate religious exploration. Childcare is also available for the very young. Of course, all are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service.
