The Understory
May 17 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pmRev. Marcus Liefert
We know some of the biggest stories that shape the world and human society are rapidly changing. Those changes show up in the small and specific realities of our own lives and our own community. How do we practice creating beloved community by living in the moral framework of interdependence here and now?
Sound of Spirit
May 24 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pmMinisterial Intern Liesl Dees
As we begin our series on Reclaiming and Reimagining Religion, we start with the wisdom of our bodies. On this Pentecost Sunday, we’ll riff on the New Testament story of embodied spirituality through a jazz lens, featuring special guest trumpeter Delbert Anderson.
Ministerial Intern Liesl Dees welcomes her friend Delbert Anderson, an acclaimed Diné jazz trumpeter, as a special guest musician. In the service, we’ll explore the ways we embody spirit through a jazz lens. Anderson’s music blends improvisation, jazz, and Navajo musical traditions with themes of beauty, balance and harmony. Featured in both the New York Times and Jazz Times, Anderson has gained recognition as a “community-minded Indigenous individualist.” His current piece, “The Long Walk,” is a multi-year performance in the style of John Cage that calls attention to Diné forced relocation in the 1860s.

Followed by a light lunch in the Social Hall
Community in Bloom
May 31 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pmRev. Marcus Liefert
We celebrate our annual flower communion with the recognition that we bloom always in relationship. Like the interdependent community of flowers and pollinators, we depend on each other more than we know to express our unique and sacred beauty.
