Healing Through Gifts of Remembering - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

In the last chapter of the Revelation to John, the last book of the Bible, an angel shows John a vision of the water of life flowing from God’s throne. Straddling the river is the tree of life producing fruit for all creation and the leaves that come from the tree of life are for the healing of all the nations. We live in a world that is both beautiful and hurting. As we enter this giving season, we remember that our giving is for the purpose of healing. On each Sunday, we will explore how God calls us to be like leaves from the tree of life for the healing and transformation of the world.

Today is All Saint's Day, where we honor those loved ones who have gone before us in the prior year and give thanks for our Gifts of Remembering. Our scripture reading is Philippians 1:3-11.
