Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur
February Worship Series: The Voice of Vocation
The spiritual teacher Parker Palmer urges you to “let your life speak” by listening for the voice of vocation, your heart’s calling, in all you do. If your heart could sing, what would it say about your choices in life, work, family, spiritual growth, and community? In a proudly pluralistic community like ours, which includes many unique and differing voices, it can be challenging to build and amplify a common voice to speak courageously on the issues that concern us as a whole – yet this is our mission and our calling as a community. Join Rev. Rebecca and our worship leaders for The Voice of Vocation, a month-long exploration of listening, breaking silence, and amplifying our voices to lift up our deepest values.
February 7 Sermon: The Chorus of Life: A Blessing of the Animals
May I be the person my dog thinks I am, goes the bumper sticker, revealing once again how the play, caregiving, and companionship many of us experience with our animals puts us in touch with our better selves. Join Rev. Rebecca and Catherine Farmer Loya for this all-ages and all-creatures celebration of the animals in our lives; if your gentle pet is comfortable meeting lots of new people, please bring them along. We are also glad to display photos of pets that would not enjoy the service, and/or memorial pictures of animal companions who have died.
