The troubles of the world—the destruction of the environment, gun violence, white supremacy—crack our hearts open. This service will explore how the heartbreak calls us into community and into action.

On this Easter Sunday, we will celebrate new life and resurrection through readings and song.

Our annual Poetry Service will explore the bond of human experience through spoken and written word.

This Sunday is the beginning of our stewardship season. In the annual ‘Sermon on the Amount,’ Rev. Rachel and People’s people will reflect on the great things happening at People’s Church–and invite us all to continue to be the generous, loving, justice-seeking community that we are.

‘Love is the way messengers/from the mystery tell us things’ writes the 13th century Muslim mystic Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī , who is often known simply as Rumi. Nearly every religious tradition has a mystical tradition, made up of people who seek heightened states where they feel the presence of The Holy. In this service, we will explore Persian Muslim mystic poets Hafez, Rumi, and Rabi’a, and the mystic approach to religious knowing more generally.
