Join us this July for a moving exploration of creativity, courage, and the human spirit in our annual summer sermon series, "Artists Who Inspire." Each Sunday, we will reflect on the life, legacy, and artistry of a cultural icon whose work continues to shape the world. Through music, visual art, storytelling, and performance, these artists help illuminate timeless spiritual truths and speak to the heart of what it means to be fully human.
In-person worship at 9:30 and 11:00 am.
Livestream at 9:30 am, 11:00 am, and 7:00 pm CST

July 6 – Duke Ellington
Preached by Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter
More than a jazz legend, Duke Ellington was a visionary who used music to speak to the soul. We’ll reflect on how his life and compositions invite us into the divine rhythms of life and justice.
July 13 – Frida Kahlo
Preached by Rev. Beth Dana
Bold, raw, and deeply personal, Frida Kahlo’s art continues to challenge and inspire. This Sunday, we’ll consider how Kahlo’s unflinching self-expression and embrace of pain as part of the creative process call us to authenticity, resilience, and radical love of self.
July 20 – Dolly Parton
Preached by Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
With wit, wisdom, and a generous heart, Dolly Parton has become a beloved cultural force. Join us as we explore her life and music, celebrating themes of compassion, humility, and joyful resistance to the status quo.
July 27 – Jonathan Larson
Preached by Rev. Beth Dana
Through works like Rent, Jonathan Larson gave voice to a generation grappling with love, loss, and the search for meaning. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on his legacy and how his art reminds us to live boldly, love freely, and measure our lives in moments that matter.
