Join us on Sunday, September 22nd at 10:30 am as we welcome back Rev. Barbara Williams as our guest speaker for our Celebration Service. Christine Mariani will be offering her amazing music for this centering service.
Rev. Barbara will be speaking on the topic of "From Othering to Belonging." In this world that we're creating together, nobody has to fit in because everybody already belongs. Unity is not the opposite of diversity. Unity requires diversity. Unity is the truth of Sacred Scripture. It's the truth of oral indigenous peoples. It's the truth written in our hearts that we can test in our lives: when we feel separate, we suffer. That's why we find happiness in belonging. We are one. No one can be left out. We were made to be together.
