Allegiance to Gratitude: A Thanksgiving service

One Service 10am. Join the Service HERE.

Come and be in community, see friendly faces, feel welcomed, remember you are loved. Your loved ones are welcome to join our service.

A time to heal, a time of letting go, a time to refrain from embracing, a time of waiting–we begin the season of Advent.

This Sunday, November 22nd in the RE Space:

9:15 am – The Littles Group (Pre-K through Grade 1) 

How do you like to comfort yourself? Do you have a favorite stuffed animal? A song? How about a favorite food? We will explore all the different ways we like to make ourselves feel better when the day has been hard.

11:15 am – Children’s Group (Grade 2 through Grade 5)
The traditional story of Thanksgiving is one of the myths about Indigenous Peoples. November is a good time to seek out the true story of Thanksgiving. Storytelling has the power to heal, according to leaders and science, and is a good way to help heal the trauma experienced when a people are subjected to racism. We will work together to heal by telling the truth about Thanksgiving.

1pm – Jr. Youth Group (Middle School) 

Join us for Social Justice Sunday! We will be working together on the book, “This Book is Anti-Racist.” Together we will learn how to wake up, take action and do the work. We will also dig into the true story of Thanksgiving.
