Order of Service 12.3.23

In Person and Online – 10 am Sunday

Reverend Nica Eaton

There’s so much we don’t know – Embracing Mystery

All the world’s religions and philosophies try to explain the meaning of life. Science tries to uncover truth. But ultimately we don’t really know the answers to why we are here, whether there is a God or not, and what happens to us when we die. So today, we wholeheartedly embrace the mystery of this existence, exploring how to live when we don’t know the answers to the most fundamental questions of life.
