• The Oldest Altar

  Rev. Marcus Liefert

  “The world begins at a kitchen table,” writes Joy Harjo. Long before there were temples, there were tables: a flat stone, a fire, people gathered close enough to share what they had. As we begin a worship series exploring the nature and purpose of church through the metaphor of the table, we ask how ordinary surfaces become altars. What promises do we renew each time we pull up a chair?

  
  

• A Seat for Our Ancestors

  Rev. Marcus Liefert and Rev. Kathryn Jay

  On the night the veil grows thin, many traditions set a place at the table for those who have died. As we mark Día de los Muertos, Samhain, and All Souls with ritual, we make room among us to mourn and honor our ancestors, and all whom we have loved and lost. What guests do you bring to this communion with our beloved dead?

  
  

• Pass the Salt

  Rev. Marcus Liefert

  Salt stings in a wound. It also cleans it. The relationships that hold a congregation or a country together are also full of disagreement and division. Covenants get broken, but a broken covenant is not the end of the story. How do we fight our way back to each other? How do we practice having the kind of fight that heals instead of festers?

  
  

• Who Sets the Table

  Rev. Marcus Liefert

  Early on, the first Christian community hit a crisis over dinner: some were going hungry, and those doing the serving were stretched too thin. As we welcome new members, we look honestly at what it takes to keep a congregation, and a democracy, alive. When so many of us are running on empty, how do we build a commons that feeds the people who keep it?

  
  

• Refugia

  Nov 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
  
  

  Rev. Marcus Liefert

  We end our worship series at the table with a cornbread communion and celebration of our three sisters garden. As we hold our inheritance of colonialism’s horrors alongside our vision of a planet renewed and a people transformed, we ask how we learn to live with an abundant spirit even in times of scarcity. We celebrate refugia, the pockets of life that survive amidst destruction. Perhaps the world is depending on us to cherish our common life, to savor “the last sweet bite.”
