Albert Einstein once said, “The greatest delusion is the illusion of separateness.” This service explores the profound spiritual and ethical implications of this idea. What does it mean to embrace interconnectedness in a world that often prioritizes individualism? How can we move beyond separation toward a deeper sense of belonging, compassion, and justice.

We welcome Dan Vega as our guest musician today.

Reading: “This promise that we make” by Rev. Gretchen Haley

It starts here

In this moment

In this breath

You feel rising

In your chest

This beat building between us

The healing, the hunger, the hope

The courage, the calling, the commitment

The drawing out

of a new day

It begins now

In the imagination

In this story we weave

together

this song we sing

this prayer

we bring into being

from our hearts

to our lips

from our hands

this promise

that we make –

to keep learning

to keep trying

to keep our sense

of humor

to keep close

this knowing

that we are all

in this

together

Come, let us begin,

Come, let us worship, together
