Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Cassie Winters, worship associate. Heaven and Hell are often used to describe what happens after life. This morning we will explore the idea of an afterlife and why it is so important to some people. The question to ponder is this: How does your understanding of Afterlife, inform your Daily Living? Join us for worship in-person and online.
Topic: In what ways did the environment and values of your town, neighborhood, or school instill elements of character and knowledge that served you well in your future life? Or, do you think you would have better prepared to build your adult life if you had grown up in a different place?

When a system is destabilized, overcommunication is necessary, and we tend to do the opposite. When there is a conflict in expectations or a clash of values, we tend to rely on rules and policies, rather than leaning into the values that undergird our relationship. When the environment is uncomfortable, we often flee to the margins, or grab our toys and leave for good. Come. Let's talk about it. Let's explore the challenging and the uncomfortable to find the spaces where we can learn and grow. What are the non-negotiable rules that frame your life? Join us for worship in-person and online.

Topic: We often think about an important, potentially life-changing decision in life as approaching a fork in the road. In fact, it can be more accurate, and useful, to recognize that there are often more than just two alternate pathways going forward. Thinking about a pivotal decision you were faced with in your past, in retrospect might you have made a better decision if you had also considered a third choice? Are there any upcoming decisions for which you are weighing multiple options?

When the sound system isn't working, or the Zoom audio needs adjustment, we get feedback: Annoying, irritating noise that tells us that something must be adjusted. Feedback from people is often subtle and easy to ignore, and sometimes it is missing altogether. This morning we are going to talk about feedback and what it sounds like in a Beloved Community. Join us for worship in-person and online.
