Being Present in Anxious Times

The task of this moment is to both stay present in our bodies and to each other, while we are imagining the world we long for. Creative solutions to the challenges we face can only come from our presence, and so we must tend to our fears, anxieties, as well as our hopes and dreams. Rev. Eileen leads this service with Kiley Korey as our Worship Associate, and Kathy Underwood, our Director of Lifespan Faith Formation. Gregory Shifrin offers his musical gifts on the piano.

Throughout the month of December, our offering will be shared with Restore Justice Foundation, whose mission is: to make Illinois a safer and more compassionate state by replacing the ineffective, extreme sentencing policies of the past with evidence-based laws that allow families and communities to heal. 

Here are the worship service topics for the next 3 weeks:
