How often do we wake up in the mornings with a sense of celebration in our hearts? Do we wake feeling refreshed with a clean slate? Or do we resist the day and what it has to share with us?

Each sunrise and the sunset is a metaphor for our lives - with each sunrise we are given the opportunity for a fresh start. With each sunset we are given the opportunity to end what no longer serves us. The cycle continues whether or not we are aware of it. Small cycles, large cycles, cycles within cycles and intertwining with other cycles. The web is alive and responds quite well. And for this we should be grateful.

As we approach the end of the year, the hours of sunlight are getting shorter. During this time there is a natural tendency to move inwards. The tree is retracting energy into its root and the bear is going into hibernation. It is a special time for self reflection, rest and growth.  

With the darkness and the solitude often comes sadness and grief.  Come join us for our Thanksgiving celebration and let us give thanks in community. Let us support each other in this time of great transformation!

We invite you to our Thanksgiving dinner following chapel service on Sunday November 20.  Please bring your radiant selves and a dish to share!
