I’ll Meet You at Baggage Claim

Dear Friends,
There are a few phrases in life that immediately communicate welcome, care, and belonging. One of my favorites is: “I’ll meet you at baggage claim.”
After a long trip, there is something deeply comforting about seeing a familiar face waiting for you. Someone who is glad you’ve arrived. Someone willing to help carry your bags— especially if, like me, you tend to pack way more than you need.
Of course, baggage isn’t limited to airports. Many of us carry burdens of another kind: worries, regrets, expectations, fears, and habits that weigh us down long after they’ve stopped serving any useful purpose. Why do we continue to haul around things we no longer need? What might it look like to travel a little lighter?
This July, I invite you to join us for “What’s Your Baggage?“, a sermon series exploring some of the spiritual and emotional burdens we carry— and how faith can help us set them down.
July 5 – The Controlling Carry-On
What can we truly control, and how much of our energy is spent trying to manage things beyond our reach?
July 12 – The Backpack of People Pleasing
Why do we spend so much time trying to keep everyone else happy, often at our own expense? What does healthy responsibility to others really look like?
July 19 – The Self-Critical Suitcase
What can we do when our inner critic insists we are not enough? How can faith help us quiet that voice and embrace God’s love for us?
July 26 – The Duffel Bag of Dread
We live in anxious times. How can we face our fears, release our worries, and discover the peace Christ promises?
The themes from this series will also continue in our Faith and Fire gatherings in the church yard on July 8th and 22nd. Together, we’ll have opportunities not only to reflect on these burdens but also to support one another as we learn to let go of what no longer needs to be carried.
I hope you’ll join me this summer as we unpack our baggage, lighten our load, and discover anew the freedom and grace God offers for the adventure of life.
With you on the Journey,
Rev. Jen
