Zoom access to the Salt & Light service has changed.
What is staying the same:

  • Anyone seeking to attend the service on Zoom will be able to participate in prayers (via chat) and communion.

What is changing:

  • There will no longer be slides guiding participants through prayers, readings and songs, but a PDF of the bulletin will be shared via Zoom chat. If you’d like a PDF emailed to you before Sunday for printing at home, email alisfingers@gmail.com.

  • Zoom chat, breakout rooms and group discussions will no longer be facilitated by staff or volunteers.

  • There will only be one camera giving the wider view of the Sanctuary.

What do you think about these changes? Whether or not you regularly attend services on Zoom, please fill out this Zoom Feedback Survey. CMLT will review the feedback and may integrate it into how we host services on Zoom in the future.

Thank you for your feedback! It is an expression of deep care for this community to share your experiences and thoughts, and we appreciate it.

Children’s accompaniment circle (cac) this sunday

Our Green Season theme this week is AIR = Spirit, Wind, Breath.

You are invited to come together and investigate what is going on in Exodus 12:1-14, there's so much! 

We can also share our last watermelon that CAC started from seed in February and the whole congregation helped transplant in the spring. (Extra seedlings went to NAYA Community Garden, Eloheh Farm and Vernon School Garden).

Create a Welcoming Space for All

Your participation is NEEDED to prepare the sanctuary for Sunday gatherings. All age groups are WELCOMED to help with the following simple tasks:

  • candle-lighting

  • flowers

  • greeters/ushers

  • hospitality

SPA: SACRED PRESENCE & ACCOMPANIMENT

SPA team members accompany and facilitate responses to the needs, opportunities and transitions of community members, the people in their lives and our community as a whole. We invite leadership in the creation and integration of rituals - prayer circles, community blessings, rites of passage - to accompany and mark transitions and life passages of all ages.
