Share a Remembrance
We are living in troubled times and we all need care from time to time. You can light a candle, request pastoral care, find support from the care team, or honor our community’s joys and sorrows. Do not bear the burden alone. We are here for each other.
Candles of Remembrance
Sharing Remembrances in Worship works best when we share our souls’ yearnings with the worship leader before Sunday morning. If you would like to have this Sunday’s worship leader share your request aloud during the pastoral prayer, you may do so by submitting the form. This will also light a candle on our website.
Our Joys and Sorrows
Anti-Asian Racism
We lit a candle in witness and vigilance. Throughout this pandemic anti-Asian violence has spiked. Recent deadly incidents continue. This candle reminds us of our commitment to build a community where the kinship of all humanity is clearly visible and upheld.
Karen DenToll and Aunt Ceil
Judie Rinearson lit a candle of deep sorrow for her former Australian paralegal, Karen DenToll, who died last weekend after a brief battle with liver cancer. Karen graduated from law school and became a leading lawyer. When Nick and Judie recently had dinner with Karen and her 9-year old daughter and are both heartbroken by this loss. We also lit a candle of healing for Judie and her 3 sisters who are mourning the loss of their beloved aunt Ceil, who died after a brief illness this week. Ceil, their mother’s younger sister, was in her 90s, and was a spunky, fun, and loving aunt that they will all miss dearly.
