Reflections for Election Day

The Collective Table

On the evening of Sunday, November 3rd, The Oceanside Sanctuary Church came together for a special candlelight vigil, marking a sacred pause before Election Week. In the glow of candlelight, we gathered to lift our hopes and fears, joining our voices in prayer for peace and unity during this critical time. Our service included scripture, readings, prayers, music, and heartfelt reflections.

As the nation heads to the polls today—November 5th, 2024—we offer these words to you, our listeners, as a source of strength and peace. In times of division and uncertainty, it is our hope that these reflections serve as a reminder of our shared humanity and our deep yearning for a future rooted in compassion, justice, and understanding.

Whether you approach this week with hope, apprehension, or even lament, may these moments from our vigil hold space for all that you carry. Join us as we listen, reflect, and, together, hold a vision of a world made whole.
