Stories shape our understanding of the world, our place within it, and the values we hold dear. Whether personal narratives, cultural myths, or sacred texts, stories guide us toward meaning and transformation. This service delves into the power of storytelling as a spiritual practice, inviting us to consider the stories we tell about ourselves and how they shape our shared future.

Reading: “Covenant” by Rev. Rebecca Parker

Let us covenant with one another

to keep faith with the source of life

knowing that we are not our own,

earth made us.

 

Let us covenant with one another

to keep faith with the community of resistance

never to forget that life can be saved

from that which threatens it

by even small bands of people

choosing to put into practice

an alternative way of life.
