Sunday Nov 3 2024 - The Practice of Repair
The Soul Matters theme for the month of November is the Practice of Repair. I cannot imagine a timelier subject. Our society is currently a mass experiment in exploring how divisive we can be before dissolving. The path of divisiveness is ultimately unsustainable; a way back to civility and a modicum of harmony must be found. Hence the importance of the ‘practice of repair.’ The definition of repair is putting together what is torn or broken and restoring to a sound or healthy state. The question is, how do we do this, and what is the path forward? It is a question that is relevant to every dimension of our lives, not merely the state of society.
Sunday October 27 2024 - Multi-Generational Service
Please join us on Sunday for a special multigenerational service at 9:30 am. Director of Faith Formation, Chrissy Bushyager, and Worship Associate, Lisa Jacobs, will lead us in an interactive service about the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "Sow-en") which marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the winter. Our modern Halloween celebrations have roots in Samhain.
We will have an altar of remembrance for our ancestors at this service. Please feel free to bring photos or mementos for this altar. Additionally, we are asking that everyone bring a fall leaf with them.
We look forward to seeing you at the 9:30 service.
Music will be provided by Jeff LaBonde and Joy Thiessen.
Halloween costumes are welcome for our Samhain service and festive activities.
