We value knowledge highly in our tradition, embracing varieties of knowledge about things: thinking and ideas and theories. But we often devalue knowledge grounded in doing, making, and crafting.

Formula on the Fourth

Introduced by the Social Justice Committee in January 2023. Donate formula, which will be given to Galilee Center for distribution to their families with babies.

Why donate formula rather than money? Due to shortages, stores have been setting tight limits on the number of cans per purchase. Our donations help Galilee Center hand out more formula each month to families with babies who are unable to buy it on their own.

Worship Associate: Joni Padduck

Even today, where the average person works 12+ jobs in a lifetime, many companies continue to enjoy the committed and experienced labor of long term employees. These humans dedicate nearly their entire working lives to companies, contributing a wealth of dedicated expertise, wisdom, and skills over decades. However, too often, the employment relationships end too abruptly in employees’ later years, and workers are able to fight back.
