Sunday Worship: Life Rules
Sunday Worship: Life Rules
Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching;
Chela Metzger, Worship Associate.
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.

Sunday Worship: Feedback
Sunday Worship: Feedback
Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching;
Cassie Winters, Worship Associate.
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.
