Service of the Living Tradition - a younger perspective

Hi all,

Thursday night's Service was wonderful. As a 17 year old attending, I was in fact wary at first. I've never been a big fan of Services of any kind but between the songs and the woman (who's name I'm unaware of) speaking about her daughter and the Velveteen Rabbit, I felt strangely connected. When she brought up the childrens stories, I was at first bored. Many ministers have gone down that path (My mother included) so I thought to myself, "Oh dear, not again." But the way she spun it was entirely clever and very darling. I loved the parts about loving someone until their ugly and all loved out. It was a perfect service. And when they honored those ministers who died the past year? Tears everywhere in the audience. I even got a little wetness around the eyes. It was amazing.

So thats mine.
Wait for more updates coming soon!
