Newborns are an exception. With everyone else, when we meet them, we arrive in the middle of their story, and they arrive in the middle of ours. We may travel alongside together for a while, learning about each other’s pasts as well as getting to know each other well. Then, if we part ways, we might miss out on the end of the story. Can we accept the bittersweet blessings of having been companions for just a piece of each person’s life?
We welcome Thandiwe Jennifer Lyons of our justice partner, Onyxx Village Connection, to tell us about how they create connections in the community.
Worship leader: Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern
