“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” – Thomas Merton

Join us for this first service of November and a month of services dedicated to love.  Many scholars, soothsayers, theologians, poets, songwriters and more have waxed endlessly about love, loving relationships and the interplay of peoples.  Today’s service wants to take a look at how we love and what principles we lean on as we go through life caring, sharing and loving one another.
