Please join us on Sunday (11 November 2018) at 11:00 AM for “Tribute, Solace, Challenge: Some Thoughts on Veteran’s Day” with Steve Caldwell, Jennifer Russell, and Susan Caldwell.
On this Sunday morning at 11:00 AM in every time zone, bells of peace will ring from churches, universities, cemeteries, ships at sea, and war memorials around the world in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the Great War (ostensibly the “war to end all wars” which sadly would later come to be called “World War I”).
On this day, we will pay tribute to those who serve and have served, exploring what “tribute” may and may not mean.
We’ll also take some time to lift up the values on which our nation was ostensibly founded and how we grow a nation that ultimately upholds those values for all — bending the arc always toward justice even when it’s heartbreaking, even when it’s easy to believe we are moving backward.
A newcomer’s class will follow the service — child care provided.
