Unseen Change Agents
Join Rev. Justin Schroeder this Sunday as he preaches “Unseen Change Agents” at both 9:30 and 11:15 AM services.
On this Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday, we lift up and celebrate those around Dr. King who shaped him and the civil rights movement, but often did not share the spot light with him. In addition, we’ll reflect on our racial justice journey – where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what we’re learning.
Monthly Worship Theme: Arc of Change
In his poem, “The Layers,” Stanley Kunitz looks back on his life of changes, “the milestones” and “abandoned campsites,” of his journey. All of us leave a trail of hopes that have fallen along the wayside, or burning embers of insight that light the way forward in our changing patterns. Change is. That is the nature of things. In a beautiful turn of phrase the poet writes, “a nimbus-clouded voice directed me: “Live in the layers, not on the litter.” This month we live in the layers of change, exploring the arcs of our own lives, the arc of this faith community, and the arc of history and change. To paraphrase Kunitz’s final line: We are not done with our changes.
