Celebrant: Nancy Nelson
On March 16, our congregation offered words, which were then knitted together into four beautiful poems: “Where Have We Been?”, “What is Happening to Us?”, “Will it Always Be This Way?” and “What Else is Possible?” We’ll debut the poems in this service, which also celebrates the age-related transitions of our young people
