Transformation requires us both to let go and to embrace. Church leader and poet Pat Egenberger will share several of her poems on the theme of grief and loss, hoping to inspire us all to use the medium of writing to address sorrows that might lie below the surface. Worship Leaders this week are Brian Wise and Patricia Egenberger. April Gutierrez and Karen Odell will provide the music. They’ll sing The Rose to start our morning, and they’ll do Bridge Over Troubled Waters during the offering.

Brian Wise will read the children’s story. We’ll sing #1012 When I am Frightened following the Chalice Lighting, and #1002 Comfort Me during the meditation period. Our closing song will be #311 Let It Be a Dance.
