Although there is certainly a place and time for striving and ambition, sometimes our quest for perfection and winning keeps us from living satisfying lives that are “good enough.” How can we embrace the good-enough lifestyle?
Services
Because I Knew You
Service led by member Dolph John Armstrong. Dolph reflects on his journey from a childhood poisoned by racial slurs and hate speech to the moments, interactions, and friends that guided him toward understanding and compassion for all.
A Glove and a Ball
Resilience in life allows us to be able to thrive in the midst of change and loss. What is resilience and how do we cultivate it? Sunnyhill member BK Kosmach explores how childhood experiences such as baseball can lead to amazing discoveries and personal growth opportunities.

The Journey Toward Forgiveness
Forgiveness is one of the greatest challenges and most enduring themes of human existence. One way of conceptualizing forgiveness is as a continuum rather than a destination. How can this idea help us be forgiven and forgiving?

Curiosity and wonder can be much-needed antidotes to feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Instead of remaining mired in frustration and anger, how might we cultivate a sense of curiosity and a sense of wonder?

Church & All That Jazz
The way we “do church” is different in a larger congregation than it is in a small congregation. This service—which will feature a jazz ensemble—will focus on both the challenges and opportunities of being a church that is growing. Annual Meeting will follow service.
Practice Resurrection
The cycle of the natural world is one of death and resurrection. Everywhere we turn we can see death and rebirth, especially during this time of year. How can we become practitioners of resurrection in our personal lives and in our world?
