How Free Are We to Be? – Rev. Krista Taves
Many of us received the message that we could grow up to become anything we wanted. This was a liberating promise and many of us took it to heart. But sometimes, it didn’t work out that way. How do we reclaim the range of our becoming in a society where some are freer than others?
Our service video will be available at 10:00 am at eliotchapel.org and will remain there all week. You can also find it directly on Eliot Chapel's YouTube channel.

We have a longstanding tradition at Eliot Chapel of sharing our Sunday offering with an organization in our community. We are so pleased to be sharing our offering this Sunday with April’s Shared Plate partner, A Red Circle, because we are both energized by a deep commitment to racial justice and racial equity. You may donate in multiple ways: Use the QR code to the left to be taken directly to our giving form. Mail a check to Eliot Chapel (address at the bottom of this page); be sure to put “A Red Circle” in the memo line. Or text Eliot SHAREDPLATE $3 to 73256. A link in the reply text will take you to our secure database web page where you can complete your transaction. Please note, "SharedPlate" must be entered as one word to reach that preferred option.
