Spiritual Practice, Not Spiritual Bypass

Today’s Topic:

What if weeping not only endures for the night, but also stays through the joy of the morning? It can be hard to nurture gratitude in the midst of a season of grief. And yet, authentic gratitude is large enough to hold grief at the same time. Our hearts are big enough to hold the largeness of love and the sorrow of loss. Join us for this service that explores a real spiritual practice of gratitude that does not bypass the losses, but finds a road to a cup large enough to hold all of it.  New Member Ceremony. 

Worship Team:

Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom, Senior Minister
Tristan Strelitzer, Choral Director, and the Chancel Choir
Rev. Chris Long, Acting Assistant Minister
Katie Kegel, Worship Associate
