Sunday Worship
The worship theme for the first few months of 2010 has centered around the way God speaks to us - how this is understood in scriptures and how we understand it today.
During the season of Lent we will be exploring the theme of the absence of God in scriptures, mystics and modern prose and poetry.
Our Sunday 10:00 a.m. worship is our more "traditional" gathering. We sing from a songbook that includes contemporary pop and Christian music and hymns, all congruent with our progressive theology. On any given Sunday you might experience an ensemble choir singing, a drama, or poetry.
Every Sunday children are involved in some way: through a children's story, a children's choir, or as part of a drama. A nursery is offered for infants and toddlers.
Our worship is led by Todd Lines, a gifted musician and vocalist who is a long-time performer in the Twin Cities. Todd has a unique ability to make the worship service come alive with his worship leadership.
Each week Jay or a guest speaker delivers a message. You can expect to be engaged in thinking about scriptures in light of modern biblical scholarship, other faith traditions, history and politics, comtemporary social issues. A message talk-back is offered on most Sundays.
