THE SOURCE OF ALL VALUE
Pulpit Guest - The Reverend Kenneth Gordon Hurto, Unitarian Universalist Minister
I come to church — and would whether I was a preacher or not — because I fall below my own standards and need to be constantly brought back to them.
— A. Powell Davies, (1902 - 1957)

Words of Welcome & Community Concerns
Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Come, come, whoever you are.

Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
