Remembrance Sunday
Remembrance Sunday is a time to reflect on our losses over the past year and to honor those we love who have died. It is also an opportunity to mark other significant losses in the life of your family, such as a separation or divorce, saying goodbye to friends who’ve moved away, the passing of an animal companion, or the loss of a home, job or familiar school community.
Join us on Sunday, Jan. 8 at 9:30 or 11:15 a.m. for Remembrance Sunday. We’ll enjoy music by Give Get Sistet. You’re invited to bring a photo or memento of loved ones you are remembering to the sanctuary for our shared altar.
All children and youth attend the first part of worship with their families before being excused to their Religious Education classes.

January Worship Theme: Cloud of Witnesses
“Do you see what this means– surrounded by such a cloud of witnesses, such a community of ancestors that have paved the way, cheering us on? It means we better get on with it. Strip down. Throw off every burden. No extra spiritual fat, that keeps us from moving (Hebrews 12:1).” Ancestors bless and burden us with legacy. They tell us why we are here and why being here right now matters. In this month, we explore where we come from, whose are we, and where we find ourselves in the sacred arc of history.
