The circle of the year comes round. Our hemisphere tilts away from the sun. Green turns to gold. The nights grow long. The natural world lies sleeping. The season of giving thanks and being grateful for all the blessings we receive is upon us. As we give thanks, we have faith that the light will return, the bounty of the earth will be given to all, and freedom and justice will flow like a mighty stream. Join with others at WHUUF in communion as we give thanks for our blessings and remember we are not whole until all of our brothers and sisters sit with us as equals at the table of thanksgiving. We will break bread together in an ancient ritual of community and memory that is celebrated in many different traditions and many different ways.

When we meet people who appear entirely unlike us, who seem to belong to a group that makes them different, or whose appearance is not what we expect, we usually feel uncomfortable. However, our faith calls us to radical hospitality. This dichotomy can be a challenge.
