"All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”
- Psalm 66:4
This Sunday is the Feast of St. Francis! We specifically celebrate the ways that St. Francis followed Jesus into earth-keeping and holy friendship with all creation. And that means we invite all of our pets to worship with us in the sanctuary, whether it's a dog, cat, lizard, hamster, bunny, rock... well, you name it. Crazy right?!
Here are some options of engagement for your pet:
- Hang out for the whole service with you, leashed or caged
- Hang out safely in your vehicle and then come in for a pet-blessing
- Bring in a picture of your pet for a vicarious blessing
- Engage via Livestream. A moment of blessing will occur specifically for those joining from home.
Choose the one that's right for you.
And if you have allergies, don't forget your Claritin! : )

GRATITUDE
November 21, 2021 • Ryan Marsh
These final Sundays of our fall series, we're bringing together the two hands of prayer - Grief and Gratitude - as we prepare ourselves for the holiday season in such a time as this. This Sunday we land firmly in the grip of grace and gratitude, leading us toward the Thanksgiving holiday.
GRIEF
November 14, 2021 • Sara Wolbrecht • Lamentations
We're bringing together the two hands of prayer - Grief and Gratitude - as we prepare ourselves for the holiday season in such a time as this. This Sunday we'll open up scripture and tend to the layers of grief and difficult emotion that have built up over the last 22 months, and find practical ways to be emotionally intelligent and present through the festive weeks to come.
ALL SAINTS SUNDAY 2021
November 7, 2021 • Ryan Marsh • Hebrews 11
Every culture and every person deals with the reality of death differently. One hidden gem in the Christian tradition is the celebration called All Saints, which gives us a container for our grief and gratitude and a vision for continued connection to our dearly departed.
