Join us this Sunday for our June worship series, Freedom as Worship Associate David Savoie and members of the Buddhism Study Group lead worship. The sermon is titled, “Freedom to Be What we have always been”.
What does it take to be our most free, most authentic selves? Perhaps that is something that cannot be pursued, or found, or constructed but is rather the unveiling, the realization, that happens when we put ourselves aside and pursue the Goodness, the Sacred, the Light, which is within us and around us. We seek wisdom in the Buddhist Metta Sutta and in Christian scripture Matthew 16:25.
