Responsive Reading –
Before we begin our responsive reading I would like to ask each of you, in your own way to join me in prayer.
As we read or watch the news each day and we see continued hate and violence, may we remember that we are not alone. As our hearts break and we are faced with the reality that we have not come nearly as far as we need to, may we speak out. As others defend or explain away the problems facing our nation and our world, may we continue to encourage them to wake up. As we wonder if our ideals and expectations are doomed to fail, may remember that none of us are free until all of us are free. May we continue to answer the call of love and fight for the lives that need us most. May our voices continue to rise until they are heard above the hate.
May it Be,
Amen
Sunday, October 8, 2017: Good Humor
I tend to be too serious in the best of times. Disasters, natural and human, tend to make us all worried and serious. It’s hard to keep seeing and dealing with problems as we need to without falling into being too critical or despairing. There will be some humor this Sunday, and some ideas about good humor as a spiritual practice.

It Is Well With My Soul | Notes from the Far Fringe

This song was a lullaby for my family and I am grateful for the ability to sing it to my own children with Unitarian Universalist words.
