There is an ancient teaching, found in many cultures, of the ‘two hungers.’ The lesser is for the ‘stuff’ that sustains daily life. The greater hunger is for expressing gratitude that life exists at all…the sermon reflects on how to feed this greater hunger. Thanksgiving Communion will be celebrated with bread and cider. Special music for the occasion.

Rev. Ben Meyers (he/him)
The Rev. Ben Meyers loves living near Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA. His ministry spans 28 years: half of that time as a parish minister and half as a social justice/community minister. He is the proud father of two sons and loves spending as much time as possible with his two-year old grandson. His passion is working with individuals and faith-based communities throughout the country as a Solar and Clean Energy consultant. His mission is to accelerate the adoption of clean energy as a moral and spiritual imperative. As a proud parent of a transgender child, he is also a vocal ally and avid advocate for LGTBQ+ rights.
