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
For our neighbors at Ner Tamid Synagogue
David Beckman-Gaynes lit a candle of concern for our neighbors at Ner Tamid Synagogue in Bloomfield and all Jewish members of our community. A religious hate crime arrived at the very doorstep of Ner Tamid when a man tried to firebomb the synagogue in the overnight hours last Sunday. The explosive failed to ignite. The arrest of a suspect this past week provides modest comfort but the attack reminds us that the cancer of hatred and its incitement to religious violence is alive in our own backyard.
Dave Fogg
Rev Jan Carlsson Bul lit a candle and shared, “This candle shares sad news about a one-time member named Dave Fogg, who died January 14 from vascular dementia. Please keep his wife Janet and their family in your thoughts and prayers.
