"The Things We Carry"
The Reverend Douglas Wadkins
The stories that shape who we are as a community are like mementos that we carry. They are important because they convey great influence and power. Each story a community carries serves some purpose, but some stories prepare us more assuredly for our future. Some stories may actually help keep us stuck in the past. This service will explore how we might know which stories of our community are worthy of carrying forward and which ones might ask us to let go of the past in some way. 
Our Folks . . .
Our sympathy and healing thoughts are with Jeanette Miller and her family upon the death on October 4 of her husband Jim Miller. A memorial service for Jim will be held here tomorrow, Saturday, October 17, at 11:00 a.m.
