Healing Our Divisions, Together – Rev. Krista Taves

Some of us are celebrating, some are grieving, and some are just grateful the yard signs are coming down. All of it belongs in this room. Come mourn the losses, cheer the wins, and mend what got frayed. We may not agree on everything, but we still share a pew. 

Featured Musicians: Children's Chalice Choir; Light the Way

Día de los Muertos: Remembering, Healing – Rev. Krista Taves and Jaslin Ahuactzi

Grief doesn't vanish when we ignore it. Our Mexican friends know this well: they set a place at the table, light the candles, and tell the stories. Join us as we honor those we've lost, laugh through tears, and discover that remembering can be where healing begins. Bring a photo or item that reminds you of a loved one. Please bring your items at least 15 minutes before the start of the service and place them on the Ofrenda.

Featured Musicians: Carl Serbell, recorder; Laura Barrett, cello; Kristi Nigh and Elijah Zove, vocals; Matthew Hull, guitar; Beth Curtiss, Jan Chamberlin, songleaders; David Nalesnik, piano.

Healing, Youth Edition – Rev. Krista Taves and the Youth Group

Healing isn't a straight line, and no one gets it perfect on the first try. Our youth are teaching us that it's okay to say "I'm not okay," ask for help, and keep showing up. Come listen, learn, and discover that honesty might be the best medicine.

Featured Musicians: Double Quartet

Bread Sunday: Breaking Bread, Mending Hearts – Rev. Krista Taves

Healing rarely happens alone, and it often happens over carbs. You are invited to bring bread or other baking that is special to you. During the service you’ll have the option to share why it’s special. Let us share bread and each other's company. Whatever you believe, there's room at this table.

Listening with an Open Heart – Carl Serbell
