Karen Lindvig invites us to look closely at the biblical Christmas story.

    "What's your focus?  Is your focus on what you have and being grateful for that? Because that will increase.  OR is the focus on what you have not? Because, guess what, whatever it is we focus on is what increases."Senior Minister Rev. Karen Lindvig begins a new series on The Alchemy of Generosity, which she tells us "takes the lead of greed and separation and envy, and turns it into the gold of giving, of an open heart, and of Oneness."

    "Re-assessment, re-thinking, making changes, taking chances, all of these are pre-cursors to a transformation. And so it's no longer business as usual."Senior Minister Rev. Karen Lindvig wraps up her series on the Alchemy of Transformation, by looking at this moment in our societal transformation as a "gestation period".  A gestation period may feel as though we are in a void, or we've lost a sense of who we are, but this is part of a larger transformation process.
