We are excited to be hosting our 2nd Annual Holiday Craft Fair at Kirkridge on Sunday, December 6th, 2026 from 1-4pm. Come enjoy a beautiful, wintery gathering on the mountain.

We are looking for weavers and potters and glassmakers, knitters and painters, photographers, writers and medicine makers… and anything else you can dream up!

The Liberation Library at our Turning Point building (2495 Fox Gap Road, Bangor, PA) is a collection of liberation-oriented books that can often be hard to find in local libraries and bookstores. Developed from our personal book collections and bridging justice-oriented secular and Christian resources, it will hopefully be a valuable resource for activists, movement leaders, pastors, retreatants, and the local community. Categories of books include: Dismantling White Supremacy, Resistance, Healing Justice, Disability Justice, Queer Studies, Climate Justice, Lenape publications, Theology (especially feminist, postcolonial, and liberation theologies), Biblical studies (again, especially those from a feminist, postcolonial, and liberation perspective), Spiritual…

Ah, Valentine's Day! What a mess of a Hallmark holiday, and yet, it impacts us, right? It turns our thoughts toward love; for some of us, that's fun or meaningful, and for others, it's painful. No matter how you feel about the holiday, join us as we expand our experience of love to include all our relationships, including with one another, the people we encounter day to day, our selves, the land, and spirit. Come share your wisdom and questions! We'll also have our annual hot chocolate bar, so feel free to bring your favorite hot chocolate toppings or snacks…

Let's let church go a little wild! We gather at the beautiful Kirkridge Retreat Center every month, outside, on the first Wednesday, to listen together and in solitude for the voice of the Spirit that speaks through the more-than-human world. Most gatherings involve song, prayer and/or ritual, a time of wandering in the woods and fields and among the rocks, and then a time to share what you heard, if you like (no pressure). We also occasionally incorporate advocacy for the creatures and other ways of connecting with the earth. Children are always welcome! And we have a potluck afterward…
