What’s Love Got to do With It? January 28, 2024 Rev Rosemary Morrison Service Leader: Oksana Atwood Have you heard the quote? ‘If I asked you to name all the things that you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself?’ In this service we will explore how loving ourselves and paying attention to our own well-being is not just important, it’s imperative. Order of Service Chimes Welcome, Land Acknowledgement, and Announcements Prelude Chalice Lighting Let us Look First to the Response of Love by Maureen Killoran In these hard times, let us look first to the response of love. In the midst of challenge, may our chalice flame bear witness to the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. In the midst of uncertainty, may our chalice be a beacon of encouragement, that our values may guide our choices. Let us look first to the response of love.
