Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“Let Go, Let Go, Let Go”
There is a singing prayer that tells us not to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. It tells us to let go. It tells us that we should let go with grace. How can that be possible, especially if we’ve grown accustomed to holding on with all our might?
Monthly Reflection Themes
Worship Theme for May 2024
Can this month’s Mother’s Day be a celebration of Mother Earth, the mother of us all? May we recognize and embrace our interdependence with nature and open our hearts to the abundance of creation that surrounds and sustains us. And may we try to create sustainable lifestyles that honor the world as the home for all living things.

Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“Is Kindness the Soul of Brevity?”
If brevity is the soul of wit, as William Shakespeare once said, then kindness must be the soul of brevity. Both authors of The Book of Joy agree that there are “three factors” that increase happiness—one, our ability to reframe our situation more positively; two, our ability to experience gratitude; and three, our choice to be kind and generous. Reframing things takes time, more time than brevity can spare. Gratitude is commonly responsive. It unfolds slowly, like a blossoming flower. The choice to be kind is immediate. Why is that important for the soul?
