Sunday, November 9, 11:00 a.m. – In All Things, Give Thanks – Amy Day

Many of us are familiar with Gratitude as a spiritual practice. Whether in writing, texting a friend, or pausing before a meal to name the places where grace is moving, it’s a powerful way to recalibrate our hearts to the frequency of abundance. But what would this practice look like if we were to consciously give thanks for the places of difficulty as well? What might shift if we developed a habit of thankfulness in the midst of it all? Together, let’s try this on and see where it leads.

Please join us after the service for our quarterly Congregational Meeting, at which childcare will be provided. Bring a simple finger food item to share.

Sunday, November 16, 11:00 a.m. – Braiding Gratitude – Montana Caouette

Gather as a community in fellowship to weave a service centered on gratitude. Inspired by the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving address adapted from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, in this service participants may share their gratitude in a uniquely Unitarian Universalist fashion. Drawing from indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge we will join together in braiding gratitude.

Sunday, November 23, 11:00 a.m. – Agape Sunday – Amy Day

Join us in a spirit of unconditional love and offering, as we come together to embody our community aspiration: “Let service be our prayer.” Together we’ll come together as a community to engage in bite-sized service projects as a way to care for those at the margins. From letter writing to preparing meals for our unhoused neighbors, we will do the gentle work of not only envisioning, but also moving toward the type of world we want to be a part of.

As part of our sacred time together, we’ll enjoy a simple potluck meal. Please bring a dish to share.

Sunday, November 30, 11:00 a.m. – Religious Transgender Experience – Bellamy Devine

Bellamy Devine (they/them) will discuss their experience as a religious transgender person. Come learn what the (debatably) first author wrote about androgynous temple priests in Mesopotamia, all the way up to current Christian understandings of eunuchs. This will be a mix of religion, history, and gender.
