  • Summer 2022 from the Community Coordinator

    We’ve been through so much this summer, including welcoming the return of Greenwood Music Camp with five consecutive services in July and August, a full Friday Night Cafe season (including a July 2nd Contra Dance!), and hosting two art installations as part of the Cultural District public arts project.

  • Hands Across the Hills

    I just got off the phone with Gwen Johnson in Letcher County, Kentucky. Some of you may remember her joining online some Sundays this past year at the Village Church services. We met through Hands Across the Hills and have become lifelong friends.

  • Music for the Soul

    “Music opens the avenues to the soul which must be kept open all the time.”

    This is one of the passages from the book Greenwood: This Other Eden by Joseph Schaaf that I shared in a sermon to celebrate Greenwood Music Camp’s presence.

  • Time to Reflect on What Really Matters

  • How Do We Support the Children?

    Wherever we go, people are talking about the shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde. Sometimes we sense also a feeling of not being able to have one more conversation. Have you had times of heartache and helplessness, of wanting to do something and not knowing what?

  • Spring Is the Opposite of War

    When we are weighted down by the unthinkable domination of war, the basic life force of Earth brings us back. Right now is the “just yet” time of new green on the branches. Right now is the time of staring into the yellow trumpet of daffodils and remarking on their miracle. We belong to the Earth. We are not just on the Earth, we are of the Earth.

  • Prayer for a Friend Preparing for Surgery

    We are with you right now as you prepare for the hospital / Our image is that as each of us adds our hearts’ love for you, we surround you with a white donut of light / that gets thicker with each wish, with each prayer.
