We will be sharing our thoughts and feelings about "Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life” by Dacher Keltner

This is a season of shared hope. Even as the light grows thin, people gather to celebrate Advent, Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the New Year. In doing so, the human community recognizes that hope is something we choose again and again, even when the evidence waivers.

This week, we lift up how we choose hope when we create light for each other.

This week, we lift up how hope can be found when we make the choice to trust that it will work out.

This week we join together for a multigenerational worship service, our annual no rehearsal, all ages,  Christmas Pageant. What is a no rehearsal Christmas Pageant? Everyone will be together in the service as we celebrate the birth legend of Jesus. During the service people are invited to come forward to create a tableaux of manger animals, wise people, shepherds and angels.

This week, we lift up how we choose hope when we notice we have the ability to start over.
