This week we read from “Beloved is Where We Begin” by Jan Richardson from the Painted Prayerbook as well as the Gospel According to Luke. Dianne Mesh offers a homily that reflects on love, fear, and loss, emphasizing that while the world may challenge us, our ability to love remains within our control. It urges us to resist the temptation of hate and instead embrace compassion, even in difficult times. Music played live by Allison Leyton-Brown.
