Tina Turner, in one of her most famous songs, sang the line, “What’s love got to do with it?” one of the most well known titles and questions in modern history. Through the lens of the 2024 world view, as we look at various religions, philosophies, and public policies that often speak of being driven by love and kindness, but are not, we must ask ourselves that same question.

More importantly, how can we make love more meaningful and return it to our everyday lives as the institutions around us fall apart?

All are invited on Sunday evening at 4:30 pm for welcome and hospitality as we gather for our evening celebration. Our Service begins at 5:00 pm and lasts approximately one hour after which all are invited to enjoy conversation and refreshments.

All are welcome!
