We are inundated each day with the fear, anger, and anxiety that accompanies rising fascism. Many of us ask, what can I possibly do? With heightened awareness of the world around us, we can respond with spiritually grounded actions to resist growing tyranny.  We put justice and faith into action as we continuously work to promote a safe and equitable society.

May we join together in a contemplative Christmas Eve service. Together, we will honor this special holiday with a homily, hymns, scripture, and a much beloved Silent Night candle ritual.

During this sacred and hallowed time of Hanukkah, we reflect upon a single flame that persisted even in the most trying of times. This holiday offers that a spark of hope can be a catalyst to the possibility of a blessed future.  How can we embody these sentiments, embracing faith and the still, small voice within?

This Sunday, we explore indigenous interactions with the natural world. Indigenous wisdom teaches the importance of regular practices of gratitude and reciprocity with all living things that sustain us and nourish us. How can our interactions with nature shift as we learn from these ancient teachings?

In many ways, we are enculturated into practices of ingratitude that only serve to our detriment.  This week, we move beyond expressing gratitude and focus on embodying grateful living. How can we re-learn how to engage with our surroundings in a way that is life-giving, fulfilling, and spiritually nourishing?
