“Take it to the Water”
Rev. Jordinn Nelson Long and
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
The poet John O’Donohue writes: “I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.” Join us to ponder what lessons the water of Grindstone Creek can speak into our lives.
In the spirit of courageous love,
we forge a community of radical
welcome and deep connection that
moves us together to heal the world.
We invite you to join us.
Sept. 6 Sermon Video
Rev. Molly riffed on Dolly Parton's anti-capitalist anthem "9 to 5" for her Labor Day weekend sermon titled "Barely Gettin' By." After enumerating how capitalism uses up our bodies and minds, she said, "We've got this dream, this memory, this certainty, that there is another way of living together with each other and the earth. ... We've got our own unruly bodies and untamed minds that show us."
