Wisdom begins in wonder. – Socrates
A Message From Our Minister
Spring comes into its full presence this month, delighting us with the wonder of bird song and sightings, blossoms of all kinds and colors, and the green, green, green of life.
In her book, The Celtic Devotional, Caitlin Matthews suggests that as we travel through the “land of Spring,” we relate our spiritual journey to “the unfolding beauty of this season.” What in your spirit is blossoming now? What new beauty within you is starting to reveal itself? How is the new life around you stirring new life – interests, curiosity, and exploration – within you?
And what about the new life in our congregation as well? As part of this congregation and contributor to its wellbeing, how do you find yourself helping to nourish new ideas, new projects, new connections within our spiritual home?
What unfolding beauty at UUCNC might we be part of? How is each of us contributing to the beauty of our congregation, through a kind word, an expression of goodwill or appreciation, wholehearted participation in projects that strengthen the bonds between us and support the common good and our future together?
May the sights, smells, sounds and movements of this beautiful season encourage each of us to bring forth new life and beauty within ourselves and within our beloved congregation.
Wishing you every joy,
Terry
