Side with Love’s “30 Days of Love” have pointed out that there are so many ways to embody Love and to practice the new world that we seek to build. In this service, we try out several of these practices, and we leave with a promise to take at least one new action, large or small, that embodies our commitment to the worthiness and dignity of all. Please bring a journal (or something to write on) and a pen (or something to write with) to this service! Join us to experience the joy of being part of the resistance!

Finding a place where we belong – where we feel seen and heard and loved for our full selves – is such a relief!

Is it all rest and relaxation? Or does belonging ask us to expand even more?

Almost all of the December holidays have a similar theme at their very core: Belonging to a healthy, loving community replaces fear with hope and purpose. Where and how do we create micro- and macro-communities of care by showing up for others? And what joy will be reborn in us when we do? Come celebrate the gifts of this season simply through showing up for each other this week!

In the lifelong dance of learning to care for ourselves and to care for others, we don’t always get to choose which is our primary focus. Yet we know that both our inward- and our outward-turning are inextricably woven together. This Sunday we practice this weaving, recognizing the grounding that all our chaotic feelings can offer, celebrating new members, and thanking our Safety and Security Team for their ministry of care. Where will we direct our care this week?
