Todays sermon:- a reading of “Getting Through the Night” By Mary Wellemeyer

Meditation / Conversation starter:

  • Do you think I’m being overly pessimistic, or will things really get that bad?
  • However bad things do get, how can we prepare – individually and as a congregation – to get through it?
  • What can we do – again both individually and as a congregation – to help others get through it?
  • What should we be doing to break this cycle?
