Blessed Gathering


November's focus on gratitude is a great time to enjoy and engage with Lucinda Williams' song Blessed - which is what we will do during Sunday's Gathering. With the word so popular now, what does "blessed" actually mean? Or does it even still have any meaning? What's the power of being blessed and blessing others? Williams' song invites us to reclaim the power of "blessing" in surprising ways. Consider, for instance, these lyrics:

We were blessed by the battered woman who didn't seek revenge,
We were blessed by the soldier who didn't need to win.
Come join the conversation and be blessed! Our offering recipient is still to be determined.
