Roots Hold Me Close, Wings Set Me Free
February 23, 2020
One of the most popular hymns in Unitarian Universalism is Spirit of Life. One of the lines is Roots hold me close; wings set me free. This beautifully captures the role of a healthy religious community which provides the foundation and support for each of us to follow our curiosity in exploring the questions we have about life. This inter-generational service will explore how each of us has a role in providing a community that supports one another in coping with life’s challenges and exploring life’s possibilities. Rev. Ferguson will be joined by three of our youth in leading this service.
