Happy Easter! Celebrating rebirth and renewal, we will hear the Easter story and Wendell Berry’s poem “Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front.” Rev. Chloë asks us how we might continue to practice resurrection, as Berry prescribes in his poem.

Hugh MacLeod says, “Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then, when you hit puberty, they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the ‘creative bug’ is just a wee voice telling you, ‘I’d like my crayons back, please.” Rev. Chloë will invite us to consider creativity and its role in our spiritual life.

Dayenu, it would have been enough! Passover starts next week. In the face of a society always demanding more, what might it mean to be enough? Rev. Chloë will reflect enough-ness and how we might take a break from the striving.

Monday is Earth Day. What might you say in a love letter to Earth? Rev. Chloë will share her own love letter to the Earth and reflect on the interdependent web of all existence.

This is the first of the two Sundays that make up Candidating Week. We hope that Pacific Unitarian’s new minister will lead this service as a change for you to get to know them!
