Dear Beloved Community,
This coming Sunday I will begin a new sermon series called RISING STRONG IN SPIRIT, inspired by Bren Brown's book, Rising Strong. I have found this book very helpful, particularly during this time.
August 1 Who needs a reset?
August 8 Reckoning: Wisdom from Yoda
August 15 Rumbling: Second Responders
August 22 Rumbling: Bad Advice from the Beatitudes
August 29 Rising: Big, Brave and Whole-hearted living
I hope you'll take the opportunity to watch the services and be lifted up and drawn closer to spirit this August, whether you watch Sunday morning, or later in the week. We'll be sending out more information next week about beginning to coming back into the sanctuary on August 8th.
I'll leave you with some words from Rumi:
Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings. Move within,
but don’t move the way fear makes you move.
-Jelaluddin Rumi, trans. by Coleman Barks, The Essential Rumi,
Peace,
Penny
