ICannotDoEverything-StarfishInspired by the words of Edward Everett Hale (often attributed to Helen Keller who did live them whether she originally said them or not), this morning’s service celebrates our pillar on peace, social justice and the interdependent web along with our sixth and seventh principles.

Our connection to each other and all life calls us to do what we can do for the good of all whatever that may be.
