Our Affirmation:
Love is the doctrine of this church
The quest for truth is its sacrament
And service is its prayer
To dwell together in peace
To seek knowledge in freedom
To serve the needs of all beings
To the end that all souls shall
Grow into harmony with the Divine
Thus do we covenant with each other
And with the source of our being
 

News and Info


Can you help us open a new door?


The time has come to replace the cantankerous old main entry door to the Meetinghouse. We have been trying for several years to fix it but it’s a problem especially in the winter, not closing properly or sometimes not even locking. It’s also heavy to use so not really accessible.
We’ve had several estimates and have settled on a single commercial - grade thermal door, bronze color, that meets ADA requirements. There will be a side window too.
The estimate is $8,330
Can you help with this PUSH to get a new door?


Please send a check to:

Please write “door” on the memo line of your check


Thank you for your consideration!
