Gratitude must be cultivated. It doesn’t always come automatically. Being in a community such as this, helps us to grow our gratitude, and our faith in the power of love and in the goodness of humanity. We come together to be more conscious and intentional about the values we are striving to live. And from this practice, emerges a generosity of spirit that compels us to pay it forward in whatever ways we can. Message by Rev. Eileen Wiviott

In a world that constantly tells us we need more, more time, more success, more everything, gratitude can become a quiet act of resistance. This Sunday, we’ll explore how nurturing gratitude isn’t about making a list once a year, but about practicing enoughness every day and learning to see the abundance already woven through our lives. The talk will be given by Rev. Rachel Rogers.

Sometimes life’s challenges make it difficult to find gratitude. Gratitude strengthens our resilience, changes our perspective, and allows us to be of service to others. Rev. Michelle Pederson will share her wisdom with us.

All Soul’s Day - Please join in the end-of-the-year ritual as we mourn and celebrate those who have passed on. You're invited to bring a picture or token of them for the memorial altar.

We are shown countless examples of heroically compassionate people, who dedicate their lives to the unfortunate and marginalized, who give until they seemingly have no more… I mean no disrespect for such heroes, I’m thankful they exist and do what they do, but it’s really important that we see that such examples create unreasonable standards… The truth is that compassion can be central to any life, no matter where we live or what work we do or how ordinary our circumstances or how unnoticed our acts of compassion may be.

Fred Rogers taught a simple, childlike truth that speaks powerfully to adults: when bad things happen, look for the helpers. This talk draws on Mr. Rogers’ wisdom and the parable of the Good Samaritan to reflect on compassion’s power to break barriers, extend solidarity, and remind us that our neighbors are everywhere around us.

Knowing what we now know about the European discovery of America, does it make sense to continue celebrating Columbus Day?

Speaker: Rev. Peter Connolly

It seems like a simple request to have compassion, yet it is a complex practice. How do we build compassion, be compassionate, act compassionately when seeing so much insensitivity, inhumanity, and apathy around us? Compassion can not only transform but is critical to our survival.

Connection to others is a fundamental need: required at birth, comparable to food and water as a human need, and crucial to societal health. Kindness is an act of connection, an expression of compassion, that heals physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically, and spiritually. It heals you. It heals others. It heals us all.
