Upcoming Services

Dec 14 – Faith, Fear, and Community                      Ivette Mujica                                            

Faith guides us through fear and uncertainty, especially when our families and communities are affected by immigration enforcement. In many neighborhoods, ICE creates an atmosphere of fear that breaks apart families, discourages people from seeking help, and weakens community trust. I will speak about how this fear impacts everyday life and how our faith calls us to support, uplift, and protect one another. My message encourages the congregation to respond with compassion, courage, and unity.

Guest Speaker Bio – Ivette Mujica is an active member of The Apostolic Church, serving regularly in the food pantry and supporting community outreach.

December 21         Tipping away from the sun…the Winter Solstice        Rev. Allen Harden

We mark many cycles in life, and the annual journey of the seasons follows our position in relation to the sun. Humans didn’t really understand this when they began observing the solstice, but those in higher latitudes saw the annual recurrence of darkness and winter, and feared greatly that warmth and light might not return.

With Rev. Allen Harden

This is a small gathering, where some of us gather to share and process the reasons why we find melancholy and sadness in this season. We will listen to some music and words by others, and engage in listening to the hearts of our fellow congregants and friends who have difficulty with the Holiday season.

Taizé for the New Year                                                                                 Ken & Adair Small

Prepare to welcome in the new year reflectively with meditative singing - using the style developed by a monastic community in the town of Taizé, France. This service does not lend itself to remote participation, so will be in-person only, with no Zoom link. Children should be taken directly to RE or child care before the service begins.
