UUFJC Newsletter: Flame on the Water, June 2024
Sunday morning, Sabrina Trupia joined us again to begin exploring our monthly theme of Renewal.
Outside our own services, the UUA shares these words:
Waiting for Now
by Mandie McGlynn
(abridged; full version at UUA WorshipWeb)
Everything
is about to change.
And
it already has.
It will be. It was. It is.
The dawn you eagerly await
to end the long, cold darkness
is already full sun
far off in the east.
Stones of justice
have been tossed in the lake
but their ripples have not yet arrived,
have not resolved into the kin-dom
already present among us.
While we wait, let us seek
—in the darkness of
the Now and Not Yet--
for the treasures God has hidden there,
the riches of the secret places
only found by night.
This is what is promised us:
the wheel of life turns ever on
and darkness is a path to joy.
