Nov. 5, 2023- Staying at The Table Makes All The Difference- Rev. Jen Crow

Rev. Jen's sermon from the Nov. 5 worship service. 

 

"The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live." 

- Joy Harjo

 

Our spiritual gathering - much like a meal at a table, nourishes us, but also requires our participatin. How does this 'meal' feed us and what does it ask of us in return? There might be instances that provoke us to consider leaving this 'table'. Yet, when should such a step become the necessary course?

Addressing our relevance in the contemporary world, why do we choose to belong to the church today? And how do we ready ourselves and our community for the church love calls us now to become? What do we do with our own resistance?

Our journey is about growing faith into real resilience, cultivating the skills we need to navigate challenging exchanges and open ourselves to evolving perspectives.

In worship this Sunday, we connect with our spiritual community to mutually nourish and learn from one another, to remember why we’re here, to gather the tools we need for a future arriving already and always. We warmly invite you to join us in this journey of self-discovery and collective growth. In staying at the table, we're choosing to make a difference, together.
