The Reverend's Reflections - June 2017
Written by Rev. Antonia Won
Soon I will be sailing off into the sunset, figuratively and literally. My partner is a lifelong lover of wind and sailing and recently bought a boat – not his first, not likely his last. We’ve been thinking up new names for the boat. The current one, “Therapy,” is a) too common, b) not my partner’s view of sailing, and c) pooh-poohed by the males in our families. Candidates for the new name are (or have been) Rev & Rogue, Juno’s Ark (after my dog), Kinda Tacky (“to tack” being a sailing verb), and Preacher’s Reach. “Reach” is another sailing term as well as a synonym for a sound or fjord. In my case, there’s a triple entendre in the “reach” of a minister’s messages and ministry.

"Rest and Belonging"
Rev. Laurie L. Newman, Guest SpeakerDo you have a love/hate relationship with your smart phone? Our technology allows us to keep connected to others through text, phone calls, social media and emails. But, far too often, this same phone becomes a distraction and something that distances us from others and ourselves. Writer Anne Lamott gets to the heart of it: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes. . . including you. The idea of Sabbath is about rest and belonging, and unplugging."
