< To Upcoming Services Feb 25, 2024 For the Love of ... Place Guest Minister: The Rev. Alison Cornish. For each of us, there are places that hold a special place in our hearts. We love them because of what we have experienced there, or the discoveries we have made, or even the relationships we have with the more-than-human who also inhabit that place. But is it possible for us to experience love from a place as well as for it? What might that feel like? What liberation might it offer? (Rescheduled from January 7.)
