Preparations are underway for a feast made of flour, yeast, sugar and salt. It is the yeasty rising after the kneading of the dough that makes the bread rise light and round. The process works like this: yeast eats sugar and releases carbon dioxide. Gluten proteins trap that gas inside the dough, causing it to rise. The yeast needs the sugar to grow and a pinch of salt to manage that growth.

The gratitude that Thanksgiving inspires is like that yeast. It fills us up! It generates an atmosphere of goodwill and growth in our relationships. We can never say thank you too often.
So dear friends,
Thank you, thank you, thank you...

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you,
it will be enough." ~ Meister Eckhart

The Breads of Our Lives:
A Multigenerational Thanksgiving Communion
Rev. Virginia Jarocha-Ernst, Rev. Craig Rubano and Michelle McKenzie-Creech

Part of glorying in our common humanity is to enter into the wonder of what is different about each of us and, at one level, we eat what we are–in other words, our heritages are tied to our foods. This morning, we express our communal gratitude for our specificities through the breads of our diversity. We hope to have many volunteers, to offer and briefly describe in the service the culture their offering represents. Please send your willingness and selection to Judy Stevens by this Friday –and thank you!
Music by For UU Ukuleles, UU Singers, Sister Singers, Paul Vallin, and Louise Chernosky.
