SUMMARY:“Perceiving Pearls” Sermon by Rev. Dr. Stephanie May
DESCRIPTION:Sermon: “Perceiving Pearls”\nRev. Dr. Stephanie May\n\nOn t
 his date in 1968\, the First Church in Boston was devastated by fire. Four
  years later\, then minister Rhys Williams celebrated the newly rebuilt ch
 urch in his annual report writing\, “When a pessimist looks at an oyster
 \, he thinks of [food] poisoning. When an optimist looks at that same oyst
 er\, he thinks of a pearl.” As we consider the challenges facing our own
  moment\, how might our perception of possible futures influence how we fe
 el and what we do now?\n\nFor Families: Childcare for children aged 1-8 is
  available with Noah and Anna. Ebonié Smith-Cooper 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\, pla
 y\, and craft. Children of all ages are also always welcome in the sanctua
 ry.
