For 50 years I lived my life with a mother who was not built, nor performed, to the factory specs I would have asked for.  For 45 of those years, I tried to turn her into what I wanted.  For the last five years, I learned to love the mother I had.  This sermon is a dialogue I wrote with my mother which describes the kind of relationship we had and the lessons we learned.

Have you ever been 'called' to something important but missed the 'call' because you didn't understand what was being asked? What was at stake? Being able to hear, understand and interpret what the world is asking of us is of critical importance if we are to figure out how to become integral and necessary to the future.

Second Sunday Cinema - screening "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power!"

Second Sunday Cinema: Presented by Faith In Action & the Green Committee: Sun, May 13, 7:30pm-9:30pm. Sanctuary. Second Sunday Cinema returns in May with the acclaimed documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power! A decade after “An Inconvenience Truth”  brought climate change into the heart of popular culture, comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Al Gore continues his tireless fight traveling around the world as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.
 
Join us after Second Sunday Supper to view this compelling and powerful film.
There will be time afterward for discussion.
