"Opening The Way" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - This is the first Sunday of Advent, Hanukkah approaches, and in the middle of the two some Buddhists will be celebrating the anniversary of the Buddha’s enlightenment. How do we prepare ourselves to receive the divine? How do we make room to recognize the holy when it appears to us?

"Building the Welcome Table" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - The truth of our Thanksgiving mythology is painful, but sharing a meal is still a fundamental communal celebration. You are invited to bring bread that is special to you – a personal favorite or a heritage recipe. We’ll share some of the stories of the loaves we bring, to create new narratives of gratitude and community.

"Repairing the Body Politic (still)" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - It’s going to take more than one Sunday service to work through some of this, so this follow up service will offer additional thoughts on rebuilding our democracy, its institutions, and preparing for what is to come.

"Repairing the Body Politic" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - I have no idea where we will be the Sunday after the election – but I do know we will be looking at a time of reconstruction. How do we rebuild trust in our institutions and one another? The work begins now.

"Remembering Who We Are" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - For All Souls we will name those we have lost this year, honoring their part in creating our story. We will also lean into our history as a people of covenant and of democracy, always imperfect but forever becoming better versions of ourselves.

"Hearing the World Around Us" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - multigenerational service on the many ways we listen – to our inner selves, to one another, and to the world around us. This service will incorporate exercises and some additional music, so that we can truly practice deep listening together.
