Who’s at the Table?
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
November 26, 2023
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Gail Johnson Vaughan, Worship Associate
Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude for all that we have received. It is also a time to reflect on our own generosity. Who do we invite to our table of generosity? Who do we leave out? Do we keep our generosity within the bounds of our comfort zones, or are we courageous enough to expand into the realms of discomfort where true generosity lives? Join us as we explore this provocative idea.
