We apologize for the intermittent sound in the first fifteen minutes of today's service.

Sound returns around the 15 minute mark for the rest of the service

 

As swimmers dare to lie face to the sky and water bears them, as hawks rest upon air and air sustains them, so would I learn to attain free fall, and float into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace, knowing no effort earns that all-surrounding grace.  (Denise Levertov)
