Christmas Eve at WellSprings
All are invited to join us this Sunday at 4:30pm, for our traditional candlelit Christmas Eve service, inspired by the Netflix original film “Klaus.” This funny and poignant animated film offers both a new “origin story” for Santa Claus – and reminds us of ways we all can find connection, in deeply divided times. This service will be in place of our usual 10am Sunday service, and will be the only service that day. If you are planning to join…
Our Annual “Wild & Precious Life” service is This Sunday!
We hope you’ll join us, either in-person in Bell Hall, or online this Sunday, for one of our favorite services of the year. Each year, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we ask WellSpringers in different decades of life to answer the question posed in Mary Oliver’s poem The Summer Day: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Rather than a typical message, you’ll see fellow congregants – an 11 year old,…
Gather and Remember With Us, This Sunday
On Sunday, October 29th, we’ll gather together to hold our annual Remembrance Sunday. Our service will offer a space to welcome all whom we’ve loved and lost into the heart of our beloved community.

Our May Message Series: The Muppet Theory of Everything
In 2012, a writer for Slate magazine made a provocative suggestion… that everyone in the world can be classified into one of two categories: Order Muppets, and Chaos Muppets. Order Muppets (think Bert, Kermit, Sam the Eagle) keep things organized and on track, while Chaos Muppets (Ernie, Cookie Monster, Gonzo) bring big bursts of energy and creativity. The world needs both in balance, of course – some of the oldest wisdom stories are about finding ways to resolve that eternal…

Resource Guide for our “What Would [____] Do?” Message Series
Join us as we begin our new message series for Spring: “What Would [_____] Do?” The phrase “what would Jesus do” was everywhere in the early 1990s – a question Jesus-followers were encouraged to ask themselves, when faced with modern problems. But what do we think Jesus would do, if he were alive today? Would he be a teacher and healer? A carpenter? An activist? A leader? Would we know his name at all? What about the Buddha, or the…
