Sunday Video and Readings
From Our Minister
Five centuries before Jesus, a band of exiles who had lost their homeland, their society, and their religious center, along with forty years of their lives, began to return to Jerusalem. It was a bittersweet moment, remembering the glory of the former days and recognizing that their new life in the old places would be very different from before.
While the "exile" created by COVID can’t really be compared to the experience of these ancient Jews, there are some similarities when we consider the emotional journey of returning to the things we knew before. And the best part of that journey is the discovery of hope and promise, and the creation of a new "watered garden" filled with beautiful plants we've never seen before.
David Whyte tells us that love is the conversation between searing disappointment and a sense of arrival and fulfillment. We may wish for a world where a pandemic never happened or perhaps was just a bad dream. At the same time there is a real inhabited world where we live and love and create our future. On Sunday we will explore that future from a place of hope and promise, as we create a watered garden of community, service, and wisdom.
Hope to see you on Zoom or in the room.
Peace,
David
