Sunday’s Reflection
Sunday, November 10, 2024
Reflection by Rev. Dr Leon Dunkley
“Daddy, Did You Vote For The Girl?”
On days like these, what does faith look like through the eyes of an innocent child? How do children recognize faith in fearful times of loss? …in joyful times of celebration? Faith is ever and always near at hand. In times of joy and in times of sorrow Faith shows up in surprising ways.
With Mike Calabrese
Service Coordinators Kathy Astemborski and Jo Reichle

Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“Heartland, Vermont”
Sometimes, in times of tempest, we need one another’s company more than we may realize. In times of tempest, it’s so important to stay grounded. But how does one stay grounded when the Earth is shifting beneath our feet?
Monthly Reflection Themes
Month of October 2024
Strength and Vulnerability
Opposites attract. Often, they need each other to reach their full potential. Day and night are intertwined. Joy and sorrow are woven fine. Gravity and grace depend on each other. The same is true of strength and vulnerability. Each becomes more beautiful in the presence of the other.

Reflection by Denise Lyons, Jill Davies and Anne Macksoud
"The HUB, A Safety Net for Life’s Unexpected Turns"
As we head into a week when many of us will be anxiously awaiting election results, Sunday’s reflection brings our focus closer to home, to our local community, to a place where we can all make a difference.
Anne Macksoud will facilitate a conversation with Jill Davies and Denise Lyons about The HUB: A Safety Net for Life’s Unexpected Turns. The HUB is a community-funded organization with a simple mission: to bring stability when life’s curveballs throw a neighbor off course. The HUB steps in to provide direct support for essentials like rent, childcare, heating, and transportation and to get an individual or family back on their feet. With trusted local partnerships across seven area towns, The HUB not only offers direct support, but also a roadmap to long-term security, guiding people toward additional resources that help build a stable future.
The HUB is a project of Woodstock Community Trust.
Jill Davies and Denise Lyons, who helped to envision and launch The HUB, serve on its Leadership Team. Both Jill and Denise are longtime members of The North Chapel and have been involved in numerous other non-profit initiatives in Woodstock, including Sustainable Woodstock.
