A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Heidi Emhoff Wood.

In worship earlier this month, we were invited to reflect on our gifts and passions. These things we care deeply about are part of who we truly are at our very core, the center of our being. How do we know who we are? As we reflect on the January Soul Matters theme of “Finding Our Center”, we will use the metaphor of the labyrinth as a way to understand the journey to our center.

In 1957, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”  We will gather as a community of all ages to honor the memory of Dr. King, to learn about the justice work our children and youth have chosen for this year, and to reflect on how we are all called to answer this question.

A multiplatform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Randy Bish.

Hymn #1028 says: “When our hunger and our passion meet to call us on our way…”  Every one of us has things that we are passionate about, a flame that burns within, that calls us to respond to the needs of the world.  As a congregation, we will reflect together on our individual gifts, talents, skills, and passions, and how we can share these things with others, with our congregation, and our world.

A multi-platform service led by led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Rev. Christie Anderson.

Wonder is something that can arrive at any point in our lives.  Although we may think of wonder as something that happens primarily in childhood and that we lose as we age, it is a gift we can receive any time.  As we think about the uncertainty of life and how the world is changing around us, we’ll listen to life’s invitation to find wonder in ourselves, in each other, and in our world.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote: “We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity.”  As we experience change as individuals, a congregation, a denomination, and a world, we will reflect on the truth that the only thing that is permanent is change and consider how our liberal faith might help us not only accept but embrace the reality of change.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Director of Religious Education Colleen Thoele.

How do we keep ourselves encouraged and hopeful in these times where everything seems so uncertain?  What if it’s as simple as practicing gratitude and remembering that in spite of things, we each have a lot to be grateful for?  As we celebrate Thanksgiving as a community of all ages, we will reflect on the power of gratitude to help us manage life’s challenges and find joy, even in these uncertain times.
