Living in the Doughnut — 10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 29, 2024

What if there’s a way to insure that everyone in the world could have enough food to eat, water to drink, a decent place to live, good education and health care, dignified work, adequate income, and social connection?

In today’s economy with increasing inequality and environmental degradation, that would seem impossible.  Anne Martin, in her sermon, this Sunday, September 29th will show how this could happen if we redesign our economy.

This talk is based on the book by Kate Raworth.

Are We Alone? — 10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 22nd, 2024

Are we alone? People may strive for empathy and connection, to truly understand another’s pain or joy as if it were their own. Can this really be achieved? Join us this Sunday as Rev. Jenny Peek shares her reflection on the human condition. Rev. Jenny is our visiting minister from Pocatello, where she serves our sibling congregation, since 2017. She will be with us in person this Sunday

Imagining “a more perfect union?” — 10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 15th, 2024

 On September 17th, 1787, the Framers of the Constitution concluded their work in Philadelphia by signing the document that would soon bind us together in common enterprise and community. Then, as now, there is still still much work to be done to build and strengthen our union.


In 2004, the US Congress passed a law providing for a recognition of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day every September 17th. This occasion gives us the opportunity to reflect on our progress toward a more perfect union.


Join congregant and CSI political science Professor Perri Gardner for some “out-there” ideas in pursuit of a more perfect union. Pocket Constitutions will be distributed to all members, friends and visitors!
