There has been SO MUCH community care happening behind the scenes and in plain sight lately! Religious Exploration is never created by one person—it comes to life through all the many ways our community shows up, pitches in, adapts, and shares their gifts.
This week, a whole lot of gratitude goes to:
● Katie & Tazley for helping create our Wonder Worship experience around The Value of Interdependence —how fitting!
● Tazley for being such an uplifting Wonder Worship leader!
● Brooklyn for helping transition Wonder Worship to and from the Sanctuary and for stepping in to lead the remainder of our All-Ages RE deck celebration!
● Mary for sharing the Nursery space with Wonder Worship as we navigated some last-minute scheduling shifts.
● Everyone who joined our All-Ages RE celebration and helped clean up afterward!
● Erin, Rosemary & Donnie for being so wonderfully flexible during our August 30 internet adventures. The service became even more engaging and joyful because of everyone's willingness to adapt and create together!
● Emi & Byron for chaperoning an incredible Youth Group adventure to Wilderness at the Smokies!
● Our youth Alex & Peyton , who stepped into vital roles during the August 30 service and helped make it even more impactful.
And gratitude to all of you who continue to make space for Religious Exploration—with your presence, your ideas, your flexibility, your helping hands, and your willingness to explore together.
Turns out, The Value of Interdependence isn't just something we're teaching our children. We're living it. 💜
