THANKFULNESS

“Thankfulness” is an original song about gratitude that begins close to the body and expands outward into creation, memory, and renewal. The lyrics ask what it means to thank one’s own body for carrying us through life, often without acknowledgment, and then move into images of flowers, mountains, childbirth, rivers, wounds, and healing. Gratitude here is not abstract; it is rooted in the physical, ordinary, and sacred experiences of being alive. Theologically, the song frames thankfulness as a practice of…

WILD THINGS

“Wild Things” is a joyful song about creation, wonder, and the healing grace found in the natural world. Drawing from Psalm 65 and Wendell Berry’s “The Peace of Wild Things,” the song invites the congregation to rejoice in a world filled with awe — morning and evening, waves and dusk, wild creatures and still places all becoming signs of God’s presence.

Hope in God

Worship in November at The Table weaves inspiring music with prophetic messages as we wonder together: What are the grounds for hope in a wounded world?

Rooted & Reaching

Our worship series will culminate on October 27 with an opportunity to celebrate…

So, radical resilience means radical, deep attention to the deepest roots of resilience. “Resilience” is the capacity to withstand and recover from hardship or difficulty. It has to do with the ability to spring back into shape after you’ve been beaten down or knocked over or bent over.”…
