“Soon the Day Will Arrive” is a wonderful hymn (#146) about hope for a better future. But I think that sometimes we get lost in the chorus, namely “Wait and see, wait and see what a world there can be…” It is so easy to sit back and wait, for change, for justice, for a … Continue reading Wait and See?

As we start the new year, it is a good time to focus on the gift of joy. Our minds have evolved to see negative things and to want to solve problems. We often forget things that bring us joy. Join us for a multi-member service in appreciation of four guys from Liverpool, England who … Continue reading Making Us Appreciate Being Alive, At Least For A Little While-The Beatles
