Rev. Rhonda Brown (from Florida) will also participate in this service. They are both facilitators for the Beloved Conversations retreat Friday and Saturday prior to the service. Rev. Homblette wrote, “When I have preached before on a Sunday following a BC retreat, I’ve talked generally about the work of racial justice and against white supremacy and how our religious communities are suited to do that work together.” We look forward to having them as part of our worship.

Where does creativity come from and what role does it play in our search for meaning? In a season full of elves, angels, guiding stars, magic candle oil and a flying saint who gives gifts to children we decorate our houses inside and out. What is all this creative display about and why do we do it every year? What does it mean to us?

Our recent Clarence Darrow vs George Foster debate opened up the question of whether life has a meaning or not. It wasn’t exactly their topic, but it’s definitely related. So is there meaning in life, and if so, where does it live?

We are living in troubling times, and it seems harder and harder to have an “attitude of gratitude.” Shall we cancel Thanksgiving this year and just move into the Christmas holiday; or is it time to determine new ways to be thankful?
