2023 Fall Season

Harbor is cozying up with a new Fall Curriculum that gets us asking questions.

Read below to learn about it and all events we have planned to ease us into the mindful and communal theme of the season.

Harbor will walk through an 8-week study series that gets us to ask questions of ourselves and each other. Every two weeks we will sit with a different larger prompts that will allow us to explore how we can connect to each other in more meaningful and present ways.

Be sure to pick up a Study Devotional Journal from the Sanctuary! This material will be used on Sunday Gatherings, weekly group meetings and in special events over the course of the series.

Holiday Greens Fundraiser

From Caroline C. Kaufmann

If by chance you think you would enjoy festive winter holiday greens in your home or work this December, please consider buying them through Hazel's school as a fundraiser. I'm very involved at her school and feel passionate for the pedagogy. The county recently granted our petition for a TK through 12th grade charter making us the first public Waldorf TK through 12th grade charter School in the nation!

Please use the link below to buy your winter greens. They are always fresh and beautiful and they would be delivered directly to you. Thank you so much for considering this request!

Luminary Mason Jar Call

Many of us at Harbor are used to seeing our walkway aglow with candlelight each Christmas Eve. We are asking for donated glass, transparent jars beginning now so we can truly set the mood for our special service.

Bring any jars you have available each week to the back table near the tithes and offering plate where they will be collected each week. Thank you!
