Title or Theme:  A Spell Against Stagnation
Speaker:  Rev. Amy McCormick

The title for this week’s service was originally coined by John O’Donahue. Maria Popova was inspired to write this in response:

"There are moments in life when we are reminded that we are unfinished, that the story we have been telling ourselves about who we are and where our life leads is yet unwritten. Such moments come most readily at the beginning of something new. To begin anything — a new practice, a new project, a new love — is to cast upon yourself a spell against stagnation. Beginnings are notation for the symphony of the possible in us. They ask us to break the pattern of our lives and reconfigure it afresh — something that can only be done with great courage and great tenderness, for no territory of life exposes both our power and our vulnerability more brightly than a beginning." Let us explore the implications inherent in these words for ourselves, our faith and our country.
