Reflection
Scott Erickson is a touring painter, performance storyteller, and writer. In his book Say Yes: Discovering the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream, he describes a dream as a cherished desire for who we hope to become and where we believe our lives are headed.

He offers three images for this: a tuning fork, helping us hear when our lives ring true; a well-fitting suit, giving us comfort in our own skin; and a vehicle of destiny, carrying us toward a future we can imagine. When a dream dies, we may feel out of tune, uncomfortable, or stranded without a map.

A Say Yes Practice: Some dreams are easy to name; others are known mostly by their absence. This week, spend five quiet minutes in God's presence asking:

• What once gave my life direction?

• Where do I feel out of tune now?

• Where am I longing to feel more fully at home in the person God created me to be?

We Gather at the Lord’s Table
Jesus didn’t put any rules around coming to the table, so neither do we. All are loved and embraced here and all are welcome at this table of Love. Our communion bread is gluten free. We come forward to the table to receive bread and cup at 9AM, we pass the bread and cup at 11AM. Please place your empty cup in the rack on the pew back. If you are worshipping from home, we invite you to find bread and juice or other elements to use as we share this feast.
