We are so excited to be counting down to re-opening our doors!

If you are excited too, one of the best ways you can help us to get ready is by starting a monthly donation. Small, regular donations add up and really help us plan for the future. Our Evergreen givers are community heroes!

If you choose to donate monthly we will send you a Limited Edition Earnest the Eastmorland Gnome vinyl decal to show off your commitment to our neighborhood and the Eastmorland Community Center.

You’re Invited to a different kind of conversation - Reweaving Connection with Listening & Curiosity

At a time when so many conversations leave us feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unheard, what if we practiced something different?

What if we slowed down?

What if we listened more deeply?

What if we became more curious about one another’s stories and experiences?

This six-week listening circle, facilitated by Rev. Dr. Tisha Brown, invites participants into thoughtful reflection, meaningful conversation, and shared practices that cultivate the habits of listening, curiosity, and connection.

Together, we’ll explore what becomes possible when we gather with openness, compassion, and a willingness to truly hear one another.

Join us this fall for Reweaving Connection.

Current progress on the barrel roofed portion of the new community center building and the projected image of the final result. This is where our worship services will take place, but also a weekly day of public school early education services, piano lessons and many other community events!
We are so grateful to the Threshold Builds team and all of their work to create this gathering space that is beautiful and versatile and embodies the sacredness of beloved community.
