Flourishing is Communal
10:30 AM
David Hoovler, Lay Worship Associate
Flourishing is not an individual state we achieve, but a relational field we co-create. It emerges through dignity, mutual regulation, shared meaning, and contributions aligned with the well-being of the whole. The question shifts from “How do I flourish?” to “What kind of environment am I helping generate?”

Finding the Spirit of Tom Joad
10:30 AM
Andrew Greenwood, Lay Worship Associate
“Wherever somebody’s fighting for a place to stand;
Or a decent job or a helping hand;
Wherever somebody’s struggling to be free;
Look in their eyes, ma, and you’ll see me.”
Bruce Springsteen found inspiration for this working class anthem in Tom Joad, the hero of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”. Literature, music, and all great art can encourage us as we flourish together. In this service, we search for inspiration to stand in solidarity with each other and with all who struggle for dignity and freedom.
