“That Still, Small Voice” – March 16, 2025

Rev. Sophia preaching, with Morris Sullivan, Laura Horn, Eileen Ryan, Charlyn Bethell, Guy Urban and the beautiful voices of our choir!
Listening for the still, small voice within is one thing, but how about all the times you didn’t heed it? Trusting ourselves isn’t always easy, is it? This Sunday let’s take some time to reflect on inner trust and the ways in which we might better listen to ourselves. Laura Horn will also offer a heartfelt share about why she gives to this church. Slow down, breathe, and come to worship this Sunday!

Reading: Self Portrait, by David Whyte

It doesn’t interest me if there is one God
Or many gods.
I want to know if you belong — or feel abandoned;
If you know despair
Or can see it in others.
I want to know
If you are prepared to live in the world
With its harsh need to change you;
If you can look back with firm eyes
Saying “this is where I stand.”
I want to know if you know how to melt
Into that fierce heat of living
Falling toward the center of your longing.
I want to know if you are willing
To live day by day
With the consequence of love
And the bitter unwanted passion
Of your sure defeat.
I have been told
In that fierce embrace
Even the gods
Speak of God.
