Just For Us

In today’s message, Rev. Lee introduces our summer message series “SpiritFlix”. Today’s look at the comedy special “Just For Us” delves into how laughter can help us make sense of our world. Rev. Lee shares the metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle – we need every piece to complete a puzzle, just as one needs every piece of the picture make sense of the whole person, of their identity.

This week, Rev. Lee introduces us to a favorite poem by Wendell Berry, which calls for people to care for the Earth in such a way that future generations will benefit. She shares that it’s hard to feel youthful optimism these days, when it feels like we are fighting the same battles over and over again.

Rev. Lee talks to us this week about books she recently read by Howard Thurman. She asks the question: What if the people who seem to be more spiritually connected, are just the ones who have learned the trick of paying attention? How can we come alive in simple ways?

Good Days

Rev. Lee begins her message by addressing the conflict happening in our world right now, and the many (and often invisible) ways it’s impacting all of us.

Rev. Lee shares her message about the HBO series, The Last of Us, and talks about how love can make people do terrible things, but also great things.

Practicing Hope

IN this return of our Neighbors and Helpers message series, Rev. Lee interviews Jordi Comas from the “Barnstorming PA” podcast.
