Words for the Wise
In the Book of Proverbs, it is written that “He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.” In honor of Mother’s Day, we will celebrate Sophia, the feminine figure associated with wisdom and knowledge.
Sophia, in Greek, means wisdom. Please join us for our service on Sunday May 11ᵗʰ as Rev. Terry Cummings reflects on the distinction between wisdom (Sophia) and folly (Insipientia) during a time of uncertainty. And, of course, we will also celebrate mothers of all kinds.

Is Nature Our Therapist?
"Spiritual Graffiti"
This is a meditation on writing and witness, seeing and being seen. Since the invention of writing, people have been writing their names on walls; this quotidian fact has some beautiful spiritual implications. Making our mark is all at once a primordial, common, and profound behavior. Sometimes the witnessing of such marks illuminates hidden places in our minds and lightens our hearts. Come along with me as I wander and wonder about memory, expression, and the gift of seeing.
During the service, the Rev. Ted Foote, Jr., Professor and Distinguished Chair of Pastoral Ministry and Leadership, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, will lead us in an exploration of how the often-emphasized topics of sin and suffering are qualified and even diminished by the Biblical subjects of Job, integrity, Jesus, and imagio Dei.During the service, the Rev.
