Can We Just Take a Moment?

"This is a moment when we can make different choices. In some ways we are the same All Saints we have always been, and in other ways, we are a different All Saints Church than we were 67 weeks ago.  And so as eager as we are to return to this space and to return to the comfort of the way things were in hopes that we can put the trauma of the past 15 months behind us … I am going to ask us once again: Can we just take a moment?  Sometimes we just need to take a moment - and probably more than just a moment - … and look around … and realize where we are … and remember where we have been.  Can we just take a moment … and probably more than a moment … and answer the invitation Rabbi Sharon Brous offered to us earlier this month to consider “what is the new world that we are called to imagine together?” Sermon by Mike Kinman from virtual worship at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 20, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
