The Indestructible Within Us
March 8 · 11:00 AM · Sanctuary
Pema Chodren tells us, “Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found within us.” We will celebrate this indestructible, and the path of discovering it, together. RE classes are happening during both services, childcare will be provided. Music will feature the Senior Choir, with a preview of the following week’s Major Music service, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor.
