Worship Services: Worship Services are held each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. As a lay-led congregation our pulpit is filled with a variety of viewpoints represented by speakers from throughout Western North Carolina and beyond. Discussions with speakers usually follow their presentations with informal conversation over coffee and refreshments later.
This Month's Schedule Of Services:
|
- May 4: "May Day! May Day!" - Rev. Jean Rowe
"Help! May Day! May Day! How can thoughtful, faithful people who believe in the power of love to overcome fear keep our heads and help to heal –or bridge- the increasing divide between a frightened, punitive conservatism that takes the Bible seriously and literally as the absolute word of truth and a worried, angry liberalism?"
- April 13: "How Do We Find Our Way Home?" - Rev. Manuel Holland
"As Al Gore, Jimmy Carter and many others have eloquently stated, over the past decade many basic American values and freedoms have been eclipsed by preoccupation with war and other matters. Also many matters important to the future of our planet have been virtually ignored by many in positions of power and influence. How do we find our way home?"
- May 18: "The Very Hardest Thing" - Rev. Dr. Edward Frost
"John Adams said: 'Admire and adore the Author of the telescopic universe, love and esteem the work, do all in your power to lessen ill, and increase good, but never assume to comprehend.' "
- May 25: "Rhetoric and Peacemaking: Ways With Words" - Marsha Lee Baker
