The Greek philosopher Heraclitus observed that “change is the only constant in life.”  As a faith community involved in the work of peace, justice, and sustainability, we’re well aware of the energy it takes to make, and to keep up with, change.  This morning we’ll explore what belonging might mean in this context.

The national conversation about Indigenous Peoples Day calls us to think about discovery and colonization.  This morning, in multigenerational community, we’ll explore how our sense of belonging might shift depending on whether we think of ourselves as guests or as hosts.  We’ll also hold a ceremony of welcome for Mandy Nachampassack-Maloney, our new Religious Educator!

Our identities are inextricably tied to our relationships.  Douglas Steer asks, “With whose life is your own bound up, inextricably, in obvious or invisible ways?” To begin our month of reflection on what it means to be a people of belonging, we’ll explore the threads of connection and accountability that bind us.

A flyer for local events in solidarity with this week’s Global Climate Strike reads “The world’s youth are calling for a turning point.  It might not be too late.”  This morning, we’ll reflect on human-caused climate change and the possibilities of adaptation and redemption.
