Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
Sacred Escape
It is forever the project to get out of the places we get into, to move out from the darkness and back into the light, to break out of our prisons and find freedom once again. To side with love is to honor grace. To side with love is to cherish life. To side with love is to nurture sacred escape. To side with love is to do the unimaginable - like Milarepa did, like Jonah did, like Houdini. We have the keys. Let’s use them.
The video of this service will be posted when it is available.

These notes are usually available on Thursday afternoons.

Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
“It's a Sign”
Our faith urges us to appreciate the beauty that is right in front of us…because very often, the beauty that is right in front of us is a sign of the sacred. The beauty is not the goal. It’s how we are most easily reminded of the goal…because very often, beneath the veil of beauty lies something spectacular. The beautiful signs in our world can often be misleading but with just a little bit of work, we can touch the holy.

WORSHIP THEME
March 2026
Side With Love
You are loved beyond belief. You are enough, you are precious, your work and your life matter, and you are not alone. You are part of a “we,” a great cloud of witnesses living and dead who have insisted that this beautiful, broken world of ours is a blessing worthy of both deep gratitude and fierce protection. Our ancestors and our descendants are beckoning us, compelling us onward toward greater connection, greater compassion, greater commitment to one another and to the earth.

Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
The Good News
How do we build the house of hope in times as harsh as these? Where can we always turn to find the good news? Faith, as James Baldwin reminds us, is the evidence of things not seen. These are powerful words—not just because James Baldwin lived through harsh times but he did not choose to be not a man of faith, not in the traditional sense. His father was a preacher…which is why young James chose not to be. And yet, James Baldwin was deeply faithful in his own way. He was courageous enough to be a man of faith in the way that was right for him. Are we that kind of brave?
