Where do we find hope in these times?  

Our new congregational year: Be like water–flowing, playing, wild, changing.

Chocolate is one of life’s pleasures. This morning we will consider truly savoring and cultivating feelings of pleasure and how this is actually a radical act. If you are watching this service from home, please find some chocolate or fruit or other morsel you find pleasurable to taste before the service.

What a marvelous day! We celebrate Father’s Day, Pride and Juneteenth. It is a day to celebrate the blessings and diversity of all kinds of people.

In these times when the world seems to be breaking apart, we need both the blessings of life and to offer blessings to others.

Our culture has a very narrow idea of what makes a human person beautiful. Many of us, especially women, spend lives struggling to meet the standard and feeling badly if we don’t. How do we break out of this painful trap?

On this Mother’s Day, we will consider the benefits of using our precious resource of attention to notice beauty.

We are of the earth, connected deeply through our minds and bodies. We will recognize Earth Day by attending to these connections.
