Building a Great Community

Our service references the movie, “Sister Act” starring Whoopi Goldberg. (1992) Why, you ask? Because in October Rev Nancy pointed out that being more aware of our congregational dynamics and intentional about the ideal community we seek to create is important to our survival. Believe it or not, the circumstances, hijinx, and dynamics of the sisters in the convent offer us some solid insight into ourselves and our success. Plus- it was fun! Any time Whoopi shows up in a nun’s habit you can expect to laugh!

A Grateful Grinch

Why is the Grinch popping up at Thanksgiving? Rev. Dr. Nancy Hitt explores the science behind gratitude and how it can make your heart expand like the Grinch’s heart. The service includes “We Are Blessed”–a musical video collage of members of our congregation.

A Real Winner

On the heels of the election, Rev. Dr. Nancy Hitt explores the politics of winning. The service includes a Moment for Friends and Family with our oldest member, Dr. Maralyn Toman.
