This Sunday, "The Art of Getting Lost", a sermon by Reverend Florence Caplow

We will gather in person at 10:00 a.m. for worship led by Liza Ferrier with music by Ellen Stapenhorst. Reverend Florence has prepared a timely sermon just for us.

“The Art of Getting Lost”

Thoreau wrote, ”Not till we are lost, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” If you have ever gotten lost you know how difficult or even scary it can be. In this service, Rev. Florence Caplow, our worship associate Liza Ferrier, and our guest musician Ellen Stapenhorst will reflect, through story, poetry, and song, on both the perils and the gifts of being lost, and what we may find there.
