This Christmas reflection draws on insights from Rohr’s The Divine Dance and Newell’s Listening for the Heartbeat of God, inviting us to join the Trinity’s “circle dance” of love. True faith is more than belief—it’s becoming like Christ. As we enter Advent, we’re called to move in the rhythm of Christ and participate in God’s hope, peace, joy, and love.

A touching reflection based on the legend of two angels—one collecting gratitude, the other gathering complaints. The story challenges us to fill our “basket of thanks” more often, encouraging both personal and communal gratitude. Rev. Dr. Steve Fitzgerald invites the congregation to share prayers and praises in two baskets on the Communion Table this Thanksgiving, reminding us to keep our hearts full of thanksgiving before God.

World Communion Sunday celebrates Christian unity and oneness in Christ, observed on the first Sunday in October. Believers worldwide are connected through the Lord’s Supper, sharing the sacrament, acknowledging common faith, and supporting global peacemaking through the Peace & Global Witness Offering. This Sunday may include songs or scripture in different languages, helping us deepen communion with God and others.
