Year in Reviews are all the rage these days! It seems like every app now wants to tell us what our year has looked like with them. But we can also use this time of year to do our own reflection on how our Life Happened this year. What shaped us? Surprised us? Challenged us? Connected us?

Here at Sunday Assembly, we're all about celebrating, and making the best of, the one life that we know we have because one day it will end. But should death be something to fear, or something that brings meaning to our lives?

How was it for you?
Like most years, 2025 has seen its share of good things and not-really-quite-so-good things - but we believe that highs should be celebrated as part of a community and that lows shouldn't have to be faced alone. It's kind of our bag, baby.

Jane Goodall dedicated her life to erasing the arbitrary line between humans and animals, proving chimpanzees display intentionality, grief, and complex tool use. Her groundbreaking legacy inspires us to recognize and respect the deep kinship we share with all life. 🦍🌱

How can we find happiness in difficult times?

Volunteering can make a huge difference in people's lives, and your actions, big and small, can help others and benefit your own health. Those health benefits include improved physical and mental health, a sense of purpose and learning valuable skills, and nurturing new and existing relationships.

The food pantry at Brashear High School is open once a week, and each student gets about five minutes to shop. Any snacks they don't take often go to teachers, to offer to hungry pupils. n.pr/47NnEYp
For students who rely on SNAP, school food pantries offer some relief

How we treat veterans, and what we choose to learn from them, reveals whether we value human life or just national pride.
If we truly honor their service, we’ll listen to their stories, confront the cost of war, and demand that political power never outweigh human worth.

This Veterans Day, we should talk to veterans about what war means, and for what reasons - if any - war should be considered.

Have you heard of the vocal-auditory feedback loop? The mechanism by which your brain adjusts vocal pitch, volume, and quality based on what your ears perceive you to sound like is called the Lombard effect. In 1909, Lombard observed that people in noisy environments involuntarily speak louder.

Studying doomsday prophecies offers fascinating insights into human psychology. Why do movements/cults persist after doomsday predictions miss? Analyzing common prophetic failures (like the Millerites' history), we can learn valuable lessons about belief, cognitive dissonance, and self-deception.

Myths of toughness, dominance, and emotional stoicism have shaped generations and left many men disconnected from themselves and others. What have we lost by trying to 'man up'? Instead, tenderness, play, and presence can be reclaimed as strengths, helping us move beyond stereotypes.

Optimism for space exploration is soaring thanks to three things:
1. Commercial reusable rockets slashing costs
2. Matured technology (like ISRU)
3. Clear goals from programs like NASA's Artemis initiative to establish a Moon presence
The new space age is here!

Our brains tend to focus on the bad, a survival mechanism to detect threats. This can strain relationships and stop us from living our best lives. The antidote? Gratitude. Get in the habit of practicing gratitude by writing one thing you're thankful for every day this month. #GratefulNovember!
