Fear Itself
We end the month with a topic deeply related to courage: fear. This service honors the ways that our fears, and our ability to engage them, are powerful teachers.
Topic: Courage
Subverting Columbus
My adolescence in an indigenous Alaskan village showed me how my life fits into the history of colonialism. To counteract centuries of exploitation, we have a responsibility to reach across cultural boundaries, support each other despite our differences, and help build a land where everyone belongs.
Finding Our Pathways to Courage
One gift of a monthly theme in worship is the chance to explore its many layers and facets. This service will invite us to delve into the many layers and to engage this worthy topic with deeper meaning for our lives.
Gnothi Sauton
A new month and a new theme to guide our journey: Courage. We begin with a spiritual practice essential to courage, to a congregation’s engagement with change and organic growth, and to life itself, summed up in the Greek phrase, Gnothi Sauton. I invite you to explore self-knowledge as an essential soulful skill.
