As we repent in full body and form, secure our names and the generations to come as you have done through time. God who blessed the womb of life, save us once again.

In our times of need, may we each be saved by hope, connection, and love.

Don’t argue with salvation when it arrives on your shores.

A reflection from the Side With Love Sunday worship service.

In the Bible, there’s a pretty well-known story about David and Goliath. Goliath, a huge warrior from the side of the Philistines, challenged someone from the side of the Israelites to battle. David was chosen and he knew that even with all of the armor in the world, he would not be able to win...

Surrender is the last thing, often the only thing, available. And so we give ourselves to it. We fear it is our end. Sometimes—with grace or luck—we find it is our liberation.

If we are not acting fearlessly for human dignity, compassion, justice, and peace, then we are failing to live our mission.
