Last Sunday’s Reflection
Sunday, September 13, 2026
Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
"The Joining of the Waters"
Join us this Sunday for North Chapel’s Water Communion Service. As we begin another year together, we reflect on the special places in our lives, places that bring us peace and joy. We reflect on the sources of water that nourish those places and we remember how we feel when we are there. If we can muster the magic (and you know we will), we can join these waters together. Join us!
Service Coordinator - Jayne Hufferdine

An Intergenerational Service: What's There to Worry About?
Come join the youth of North Chapel as we build community and chat about mental health. Discover how kids are coping with stress, while we ask the question:
How do we cultivate peace when our heads are spinning!?

WORSHIP THEME
Theme for Septemaber 2026
Water
Water shifts in form yet remains itself, reminding us that change is constant and necessary. It carves stone, nourishes life, and connects all beings across distance and time. In its movement and depth, we are called to adapt with courage and to honor our place within the interdependent web of existence.

Reflection by Gerry Hawkes
CHANGE: We Didn’t Planet This Way
Gerry grew up near Woodstock and obtained a forestry degree from the University of Maine. He served as a forester in the Peace Corps where he provided forestry, environmental and appropriate technology consulting in Africa, Asia and North America for USAID, The World Bank, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N., and the U.S. Dept. of Energy. He also managed 30,000 acres of privately held land in the Woodstock area. 30 years ago, he shifted his focus to focus on protecting and improving the health and sustainability of forests through methods and technologies that reduce adverse environmental impacts. Gerry has been awarded 6 U.S patents and has 3 patents pending. In 2025 he was named Vermont Tree Farmer of the Year.
