Please join us on Mother’s Day as we delve further into May’s theme of Creativity.

Being a mother, or mothering in general – i.e. simply engaging in the act of creating and/or nurturing another living being – provides absolutely endless opportunities for creativity, whether we want those opportunities or not.

In this morning’s message we will explore the fundamental and essential improv comedy technique of “Yes, and…”. This is a method that puts acceptance and collaboration, progress and ideas front and center within any relationship.

After this service we hope you too will embrace the benefits of this dynamic skill and discover the ways in which it can enhance your parenting experience, nurture your relationships, help you bloom where you are planted – and beyond!

For an online stream of the service, click here after 10:20 a.m.

Is Mother’s Day a holiday you celebrate, or a holiday you dread?  Neither? Both?  Is it even relevant in today’s world, when the gender binary is increasingly being questioned? This Mother’s Day, we will tell the stories of how Mother’s Day came into being in the US, and think about what it might mean for us now.
