    In the Presence of All That Is

    "All That Is" is a lot of stuff, and between this time of year and this time in our world, there is so much that demands our presence. What would it mean to call ourselves into the presence of all of this? Or, maybe the call is asking us to get in touch with what it is that matters.

    Making Amends

    Ours is an unapologetic world. Seldom does anyone take responsibility for damage done. While we might not like the words, let's look at how remorse and repentance can play a role in our personal and societal transformation.

    What’s Broken Now?

    Whatever the results of the election, our purpose remains the same....to heal ourselves and our world. And we're in it for the long haul. So let's assess the situation and then lay out the task before us. We've got some stuff to do.

    Hope in the Dark

    The election is just days away. We have worked hard to ensure that democracy will prevail. And yet, many are experiencing this as a very dark time in our nation. Let's spend time reconnecting to all that we can trust to get us through.

    Listening to Those Who Have Gone Before Us

    Description: We've come to that time of the year when many cultures believe the veil between the living and the dead is thin. If we listen deeply to the past...particularly to those who have built, sustained, and transformed this congregation...what do we hear?

    Listening to the Land

    Those of us who come from immigrant histories cannot claim being indigenous to this land. But we can become naturalized to it. Robin Wall Kimmerer says that "Being naturalized to place means to live as if this is the land that feeds you, as if these are the streams from which you drink, that build your body and fill your spirit." Let's explore this as we honor Indigenous Peoples' Day.

    Listening to the Pain of the Day

    If only every day had only one pain! Noise, fear, and pain-avoidance seem to conspire to plug up our ears and our eyes. And yet, we cannot, should not, turn away from all the hurt and suffering in the world. As we look ahead to the coming election, how can we better tune our ears to hear...that we may respond? A reflection from Rev. Jullan Stoneberg.

    An Invitation to Invite

    You've likely been exposed to all kinds of advice about how to be a gracious host and about how to create space that allows everyone to bring their full selves. And still, not many of us are good at the practice of intentional and generous hosting. Let's explore the gap between our intentions and our realities.

    An Invitation to Discomfort

    In the same way that many have come to rely on air conditioning to keep us comfortable, it’s easy to get used to having our human environment organized to please us and our ways of being. Just as there are benefits to sitting on the front porch to cool off on a summer night, there are benefits to learning to adapt to the diversity around us.
