Our October worship series, Deepest Belonging, will hold readings assigned by the lectionary for the global Christian church alongside Rev. Dr. Kara Root’s The Deepest Belonging: A Story about Discovering Where God Meets Us.
We are on a journey in this life. Sure, we are on a metaphorical journey, the kind people write poems about. But also, plain and simple, we come into this life, live it, and leave it; we are born, and we die. Every human life has a beginning, an end, and the span in between, however long or short that span may be. On this journey we are defined by two intertwined facts: we belong to God, and we belong to each other. Life includes lots of other ingredients, of course, but this is the inescapable essence of living a human life: we belong to God, and we belong to each other. We can act as though one or the other of them is not real. We can avoid or deny part of our belonging, behaving as though we are in this life alone and against others, or ignoring our belonging to God completely. But that doesn’t make either belonging not true. It just means we are disconnected or distracted, not sensing and living into our true human identity and connection at the moment” (The Deepest Belonging by Kara Root, 6-7).
We hope this four-week worship series will invite us into the depths of what it means to belong to God and each other at The Table. Our worship series will culminate on October 27 with an opportunity to celebrate baptism, renew our baptismal covenants, and make Deep Commitments for 2025. We invite you and your Kitchen Table to take time over these four weeks to consider your relationship to God and our community of faith as you look to the year ahead. We hope you will each share a Deep Commitment for 2025.
