Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Chela Metzger, Worship Associate. It's easy to say thank you. It is one of the first phrases we teach children to say. It is much harder to be a gracious receiver. How can you say thanks for something you don't want? Or when you feel unworthy? Gratitude as a spiritual practice requires compassion and understanding directed at both the giver and yourself. Does gratitude get you through hard times? What happens when you say thank you but you don't mean it? Let's give thanks for meaningful Thank-yous. Join us for Sunday morning worship in our historic Sanctuary at 18th and Arizona, online or in-person.

Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Judith Martin Straw, Worship Associate. "Direct experiences of transcending mystery and wonder are primary sources of Unitarian Universalist inspiration. These experiences open our hearts, renew our spirits, and transform our lives... Grateful for the experiences that move us, aware of the religious ancestries we inherit, and enlivened by the diversity which enriches our faith, we are called to ever deepen and expand our wisdom," challenges our new Unitarian Universalist Inspirations statement which our movement adopted at last year's General Assembly. Nurturing Gratitude is this month's theme and we will explore how we are to live lives of thanksgiving in the context of our many holiday celebrations.

Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Judith Martin Straw, Worship Associate. Love is at the center of our faith and we are therefore called to strive to live with open hearts. That can be difficult in times such as these when empathy, compassion, and love are threatened in our wider world. Join us as we consider how we can spiritually resource ourselves so that our love is expansive, bold, and resilient. We will also learn more about the ministerial search process and our "Break Barriers, Build Beliefs" assessment and workshop as we prepare to conduct an inclusive national ministerial search.
