“When A Nobody Became a Somebody” — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. A Passover and Easter Celebration that reminds us that resistance is sacred work honored in both the Jewish and Christian scriptures. We will dedicate the children of the Vasquez family and abundant music will soar from both the Family and the Chalice Choirs!
“No Permanent Enemies. No Permanent Allies”— led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-ministers. Our civic and political lives are suffused with negotiations, compromises and outright conflicts. We resist dangerous ideas and bad policy by confronting the people that are perpetuating the ideas and proposing the policy. This service invites us to hold these truths in the balance with our first principle that recognizes everyone's inherent worth and dignity. And in a celebration of Spring, beautiful music and artistry abound.
Safety isn't safe, but vulnerability serves our collective strength. In community with our Coming of Age youth we discover both our brokenness and wholeness, our susceptibility and our fortitude. Join Rev. Anya, the Coming of Age class, the full Worship Team, and some incredible musicians for this invitation to vulnerability and strength.
Tenderness is what love looks like in private. Justice is what love looks like in public. Covenant is what love looks like in community. Accountability is what love looks like in relationships. ‘Revolutionary love’ is the choice to labor for others, for our opponents, and for ourselves in order to transform the world around us. These are the many ways to nurture love. Our service is full of music, energy, joy... and you, if you choose to join us!
The Home That Love Made” - led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Most of the commitments that we make are grounded in relationships of love. Love compels us to make promises. It links us to others. It forges connections that we refuse to forsake. This congregation is the home that love made. Our service offers solace after the attacks of hate near and far, our choir will sing, and we will hear testimony.
“The Time is Always Right to Do What is Right” — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Dr. King used his time wisely, doing what was right, not when it was convenient, but when it was necessary. The Friends of the Howe House have learned that doing what is right is an urgent demand that only a coalition joined in a network of mutuality can fulfill.
