Gina's remarks focused on Veterans Day and our enduring gratitude for those who served in our military branches. She also highlighted the scriptural call to "turn our weapons of war into plowshares" and shared a project in Laos that repurposes some of the 80 million unexploded ordinances still in the country into art.

On Sunday, we had some hard conversations with one another. In our society, conversations between those on different sides of the political divide are often avoided or, if engaged, become contentious. As a faith community, we expressed both sorrow and optimism about the election results. The message then aimed to give us practical ways to engage with someone who sees life from a very different point of view. These are never easy conversations. As always, we welcome your contributions and feedback.
