< To Upcoming Services Oct 22, 2023 Seasons of Love. As the leaves turn with the fall season, imagine if every leaf was the same color. No reds, oranges, or yellows - no color, no diversity. Just as the universe expresses love with the changing colors of the leaves, we are human expressions of that same love. Join us as our guest, the Reverend Aaron Miller from the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford, preaches about faith in this universal love that knows no boundaries and has no end.
