"Few Things Needed: Hungry Angry People," October 26, 2025

This Sunday, we were joined by a couple dozen of our friends from the Portland Sage Singers. The first voice you hear here is Tim Seelig — artistic director for the Sage Singers and all around fantastic human. For about a year, the Sage Singers have been rehearsing in our sanctuary. Offering to join us on a Sunday with a handful of songs, we were very happy to host them! You can hear their three songs at the beginning of this recording.

The Scripture reading and sermon begin at 12:15.
