“Here Be Dragons” – May 18th, 2025

Rev. Sophia preaching, with Carole Katz, Caroline Lee, Charlyn Bethell, Guy Urban and the FPW Choir! 

Many brilliant activists tell us that radical, change-making movements are driven by creative imagination. Let’s consider this as Unitarian Universalists, whose history reminds us about pushing boundaries, venturing into the unknown, and dreaming good dreams! Our choir will be singing, and the beauty of our church and community will be thrumming–come worship with us this Sunday and be renewed.

Reading: Book of Genesis  by Kei Miller

Suppose there was a book full only of the word,
let – from whose clipped sound all things began: fir
and firmament, feather, the first whale — and suppose
we could scroll through its pages every day
to find and pronounce a Let meant only for us —
we would stumble through the streets with open books,
eyes crossed from too much reading; we would speak
in auto-rhyme, the world would echo itself — and still
we’d continue in rounds, saying let and let and let
until even silent dreams had been allowed.
