What We Bring to the Table: A Recipe for Making Magic

What happens when you mix a little wonder, a few meaningful stories, and a room full of people bringing their own particular magic? This Sunday, we’ll gather around tables, surrounded by the bewitching decorations from our service auction, to discover the values hidden in our experiences and see what emerges when we bring them together. No spells required—just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to listen.

Second Hour: Read-Along with the Rev: Love at the Center

After a little fall hiatus, our Love at the Center Read-Along is back! Join Rev. Sarah this Sunday as we continue exploring what it means to put love at the center of our faith, our relationships, and our communities.

This month, we’re discussing three essays (Essays #15–17, pages 91–120): “Love Is Abolition Is Earth Justice” by Rev. Karen Van Fossa, “Love and Risk” by Robert C. Spirko, and “When Love Is Criminalized” by Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen. Together, these essays invite us to consider the connections between love, justice, courage, and the risks we take when we put our values into practice.

Whether you’ve read every page, just one essay, or haven’t had a chance to open the book, you’re welcome to join the conversation. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and your own experiences. There’s always room at the table!
