This Week’s Message
What Had Happened Was…
Have you ever tried to describe a truly unforgettable experience to someone who wasn't there, only to discover that words can't quite capture its magic? In her circle of friends, Rev Laine shares that stories like that always began with the phrase, “What had happened was…”
This Sunday, as we launch our Summer of Sunrises and Sunsets, we'll explore the unique energy that emerges when people come together with a shared purpose—much like the transformative experiences many of us remember from summer camp. What is it about gathering with others who are passionate, curious, and committed to learning and growing together while also having fun?
There is a special kind of synergy that arises in these environments. Connections deepen, perspectives expand, and something greater begins to unfold. In spaces like these, transformation becomes not only possible, but natural. Join us as we celebrate the power of shared experiences and the ways they can awaken growth, joy, and lasting change - this week and all summer long!

Previous Week’s Message
Sunrise Mysticism
May 24, 2026
There is something undeniably sacred about sunrise. At the first light of day, something within us awakens too — a quiet remembrance of hope, renewal, and possibility. Every dawn offers a gentle invitation to begin again, to release yesterday, and to meet life with fresh awareness. When we pause long enough to truly witness the daybreak, we reconnect with the mystical nature of our own soul. In this inspiring exploration of the spiritual power of sunrise, we will reflect on the beauty, symbolism, and inner awakening available to us each and every morning. As we enter this Summer of Sunrises and Sunsets, let us greet the light mindfully and rediscover the sacred gift of a new day.
