SUMMARY:Open Table Worship: The Serviceberry
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Open Table worship (which occurs on every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month in the All Saints Chapel). We will begin with a time of prayer / meditation. This will be followed by a discussion of our new sermon-time topic\, Robin Wall Kimmerer’s The Serviceberry. Reading pages 41-65. The reading can be found here. Rhoda Vanderhart will lead. \nThe Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer is a thought-provoking exploration of how we can rethink our relationship with nature\, economy\, and community through the lens of reciprocity. \nDrawing from Indigenous wisdom\, ecological science\, and real-world examples\, Kimmerer challenges the capitalist mindset of scarcity and hoarding. She offers an alternative—one rooted in generosity\, mutual care\, and sustainability. Using the serviceberry tree as a guiding metaphor\, she illustrates how nature thrives on cooperation\, not competition. The book invites readers to embrace a new model of abundance where giving\, rather than accumulating\, ensures collective well-being. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:The Sum of Us: Chapter 10
DESCRIPTION:Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure\, she found a common root problem: racism. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people\, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems\, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? \nThis week we read and discuss chapter 10\, “The Solidarity Dividend.” Mike Carns will lead. The reading can be found here.

SUMMARY:May Day Strike for Equality

SUMMARY:The Sum of Us: Chapter 5
DESCRIPTION:Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure\, she found a common root problem: racism. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people\, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems\, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? \nThis week we read and discuss chapter 5\, “No One Fights Alone.” Mike Carns will facilitate.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Study: An Altar in the World
DESCRIPTION:In her critically acclaimed Leaving Church (“a beautiful\, absorbing memoir.”—Dallas Morning News)\, Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about leaving full-time ministry to become a professor\, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now\, in her stunning follow-up\, An Altar in the World\, she shares how she learned to encounter God beyond the walls of any church. \nFrom simple practices such as walking\, working\, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings\, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights\, smells\, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. Under Taylor’s expert guidance\, we come to question conventional distinctions between the sacred and the secular\, learning that no physical act is too earthbound or too humble to become a path to the divine. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives\, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go\, in nearly everything we do. \nJoin this six-week contemplative study of An Altar in the World led by All Saints’ Rev. Bob Donnell on Thursdays at 6 pm in the All Saints Chapel\, starting on February 5. Please email Rev. Donnell if you intend to participate at drbobdonnell@gmail.com.
