Autumn Worship
Sundays, 10:00 a.m.
Cairn Sanctuary & on Zoom
This autumn at Cairn, we are exploring how what we practice shapes what we value, how we belong, and who we are becoming together. Through worship, scripture, embodied spiritual practices, generosity, justice, prayer, and shared community, we’ll consider faith not only as something we believe, but as something we live. Together, we’ll ask what our choices, relationships, commitments, and resources reveal about where our hearts are—and how we might begin practicing the world we long for, here and now.
