Happenings
“Conversation Sundays”
These special services will occur on the 2nd Sundays of the months of July, August, September and October. We meet informally at 10 AM around small tables in Battell Chapel instead of the Sanctuary, for an informal time of guided conversation. For our first one we had good attendance and lively and lovely conversation on the topic “What causes you to feel awe?” On August 11, our Conversation Sunday was led by Bill Eckert on the topic “Beeing Pollinators”. On September 8, Kristin Mudge led the conversation on “Opening Doors.” Next up – Jake Green on October 13. Coffee and refreshments are available and, of course, all are welcome to join the conversation or just listen in.
Coming This Fall:
Story Night – Friday, October 18. 7 PM. A reprisal of our earlier coffee house events with three persons sharing a bit of their life story. Refreshments provided.
Open Mic Night – Saturday, November 16 at 7 PM. All ages, any instruments, songs. stories, etc. BYO drinks and snacks, cash donation to the Norfolk Food Pantry.

We are a community of seekers of all ages. We’re not interested in washing your brain. We’d rather engage it and hear from you about your beliefs, struggles, joys.

We strive to express God’s love with joy. Join us any Sunday at 10 AM to find out just what this means: music, prayer, support, preaching, fellowship –and more.
Serving Love
We take care of others, living our faith. Through our Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, Minister’s Discretionary Fund, Work Camps, and weekly Light of Service, we seek to make a positive impact on others, particularly those in need
“No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”
Please walk through our doors and give yourself the gift of discovering that you belong here.
May you find a faith that works; may you know God’s love!
