After 66 consecutive Sundays of having our main Sunday service on Zoom, we gathered in a new space outside of nearby Thoreau Elementary School to share in-person worship (and stream to Zoom!). Thanks to all of the folks who put in countless hours to make this logistically possible, all who were willing and able to show up to try it out. It was wonderful to be together and we hope to improve the experience as time goes on. Join us there on June 20th & 27th and August 22nd & 29th and September 5th, weather permitting!

After a difficult year, we have many folks to give thanks to and lots to celebrate. Here are some highlights from Sunday:
