“Our task is to be who we are, in every way we can be; our salvation proceeding in putting ourselves back together after each tumble…We irridesce, shine, and radiate. We exclaim and roar: we are.” By Kenneth L. Patton

Kenneth Leo Patton (August 25, 1911-December 25, 1994), identifed as one of the major poets and a prophet of contemporary liberal religion, was a voice for a poetic, naturalistic humanism at a time when most humanists were defining a religion of reason. Minister and scholar David Bumbaugh has summed up Patton’s work: “It was he who taught a monotone rationalism how to sing; it was he who taught a stumble-footed humanism how to dance; it was he who cried ‘Look!’ and taught our eyes to see the glory in the ordinary.”
We would love to have you come worship with us.
This Sunday we will explore Kenneth Patton and his legacy within our faith.

Classes and worship are replaced by Spiritual Outings on the first Sunday of each month during the summer, with brief worship, a potluck picnic, and outdoor activities. The schedule is in the sidebar.
