Sunday, November 9 — Cracking Our Shins on Altars
In honour of Remembrance Day, we explore gratitude not as a warm feeling but as tangible practice. Research shows that joyful people don't just feel grateful—they actively practice gratitude. What does it mean to recite 100 blessings a day? How does imagining the absence of our blessings deepen appreciation? On this day of remembrance—itself a ritual practice—we discover how gratitude transforms our relationship with everything, teaching us to see miracles in the commonplace and "crack our shins on altars" hidden in everyday moments. Today's service will include a Chalice Lighting and Special Reflection from Rev. Nicole McKay, the first UU Chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as a reflection from Rev. Beckett Coppola.
