Online Church Events
To stay connected during this time of social distancing, we have created many opportunities for engagement, worship, socializing, and support! This page lists our regularly scheduled Online Church Events, which repeat weekly or monthly.
For many of these events, the Zoom link is listed, but you will need a passcode. Passcodes are available in the Weekly Connections newsletter, and directly from the group leaders. If needed, contact the meeting/group lead or the office for more information on how to join these Zoom calls.

Saturday
Weekly Common Read : Discussion Hour – Saturdays, 11:00am-12:00pm
Look for a short reading, posted weekly. Something uplifting, and thought provoking that we can ponder throughout the week and then discuss together on Saturdays via Zoom.
Check out this week’s Common Read selection here!
We hope that you will join us in taking this time to dive deeper into our spiritual lives. In the Jewish sacred reading tradition of Havruta, it is said that between you, me, and the text, that is where the truth can be found.
