Sermon delivered by Minister of Faith Development ev. Emily Gage on September 17, 2017.\\xa0"It makes me think of each of us, walking through the door here, sometimes bearing gifts or our lesson plans or supplies or cookies, but mostly just offering our presence to one another. We don\\u2019t always do it as well or as kindly or as smoothly as we would like to (I certainly know this is true of myself), but still we offer up who we are, and hope that that is enough. It is enough."

The sermon references the book Come with Me by Holly McGhee as well as poems from Brian Doyle\'s book The Kind of Brave You Wanted to Be.\\xa0

The theme for September is how to be a community of welcome.\\xa0To read about our\\xa0theme-based ministry, please visit\\xa0http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections\\xa0on our website.
