Sermon: “Beautiful and Broken: The World as it Is”
Rev. Mary Katherine Morn

It is hard to bear the monstrous images from the world with all its violence and hate. Sometimes we have to look away. If, though, we close our eyes to the suffering in our world, we will also inevitably miss much of its beauty. This service invites us to stay tender to the heartbreak and the joy and beauty, so that we can be part of bringing more beauty and justice to our world.

Bio: Rev. Mary Katherine Morn is President and CEO of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization advancing human rights together with an international community of grassroots partners and advocates.

For Families: Childcare for children aged 1-8 is available with Noah and Anna. Rev. Hank Peirce, Assistant Minister of Storytelling, will share a story for all ages in the service. Following the story, older children are invited to remain in the service after or to join Noah and Anna for stories, play, and craft. Children of all ages are also always welcome in the sanctuary.
