The Promise of Promises
Join Rev. Elaine Aron Tenbrink this Sunday at 10:00 AM for “The Promise of Promises”
Unitarian theologian James Luther Adams famously wrote that “human beings, individually and collectively, become human by making commitment, by making promises.” How do the commitments we make lend depth to our humanity? This morning we will consider the gifts of our creedless, covenanted religious tradition.
Theme: Seeds
Hidden in the seed is wonder: the possibility of prairie grass, the manifestations of marigolds, the surprising turn of events when we plant hope in our lives. Whether we plant seeds in our backyard or in gestures of social justice, we enter the divine amplification system that deeply connects our actions to the creative energy of Spirit. As a wise man once said, a world of justice, and peace is like a mustard seed, that when planted grows up to become the greatest of all shrubs, so great that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade. This summer we will explore the theme of seeds. What seeds are we planting to grow a more whole and holy world? What seeds are you planting to grow a more whole and holy life? What is our part in the divine amplification system?
