Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy gave a message about Jobs, Service, and Meaningful Work. When we're young, we're encouraged to make plans at the place where what we're good at meets what we can get paid for, but when those plans collide with reality, often it turns out that things aren't so simple. What we love to do, what we're good at, others' needs, and our own need for money --- these factors have many ways of mingling in our lives, some of them great, some of them unexpectedly meaningful, and some of them not so great. Those of us who choose our paths and live our passions should remember to be aware of our privilege.
Next Sunday, September 13th:
