View from the Balloon

ONE SERVICE at 10am. Music: UUCR Choir. Worship Leader: Guest Minister Rev. Jake Morrill. Up in a hot-air balloon, people look like ants and neighborhoods, like ant hills. This might seem to diminish the inherent worth and dignity of every person, but in fact, it glorifies our interdependence. On this Sunday, we’ll reflect on emergence and adaptive systems-like flocks of birds and ant colonies-and how our own lives take place among a wider, rich life.
