This Sunday's Service

November 2, 2025: Orienting Toward Gratitude

Orienting Toward Gratitude

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
So much of our society encourages us to orient toward want – to be consumers and takers. It also fosters greed and discontent. How can gratitude help us re-orient ourselves toward generosity and contentment?
