Our regular Sunday Gathering. An opportunity for wisdom, joy, solace, and community – followed by a healthy dose of caffeine, cake, and conversation.
Gatherings include live music, a story for children, singing, poetry and literature, a talk from our minister or a member of our Ministry Team, and time for sharing joys and sorrows.
The theme of this week's Gathering will be “Gratitude and Entitlement”. What does your job owe you? What does society owe you? What does the world owe you? Human beings have and should have basic rights. No one should have to go hungry or without shelter in a wealthy country. Anything less is deeply unjust. Beyond the basics, though, our culture encourages a sense that we deserve everything there is to have – the best clothes, homes, cars, technology, and more. At the same time, gratitude – a great joyful appreciation of what we have – is a key to our happiness and satisfaction. Today, we explore how to find a place for gratitude – while still demanding justice.
