Don't forget the US General Election this Tuesday, November 3rd!

Sunday morning, Rev. Mike Adamek joined us to begin exploring our monthly theme of Healing. Among Rev. Mike's readings were these lyrics from the song "Anthem" by Leonard Cohen:
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
The Wholeness of all of us is cracked and in the days, weeks, months and years to come the cracks in our wholeness will be where both light comes in and pours out of our lives. Healing is not being cured of whatever ails you or being saved and spending eternity in bliss. Healing is living with the damaged past and present and integrating that damage into a better future for yourself and those who love you. It is work we all have to do.
(Summary submitted by Katherine Connor.)
