Sermon delivered by Minister of Faith Development Rev. Emily Gage on September 22, 2019.\\xa0\\u201cExpect nothing," Alice Walker writes. \\u201cLive frugally on surprise.\\u201d\\xa0By this, Rev. Gage takes Walker to mean that we should be open to whatever happens, that we should let ourselves be surprised by what comes our way. Don\\u2019t get weighed down by expectations\\u2014don\\u2019t spend your time thinking about what might happen or what might not happen\\u2014just let it be what it is.\\xa0Easier said than done, of course.

The theme for September is what it means to lead a life of expectation. To read about our\\xa0theme-based ministry, please visit\\xa0http://www.unitytemple.org/faith.
