February 7. Community Worship: “Improvising to Create Community”

Rev. Linda reflects on how the art form of improvisation  could help us in our relationships with people who have ideas, cultures, beliefs that are different from our own.  Can we all play together to make a joyful ensemble?  The choir debuts their February anthem.
