Living Through the Lens of Love
August 14, 2022 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today’s Topic:
Our Universalist ancestors laid out a spiritual path grounded in love. They challenged us to embody a love that will not let us go, a love that draws a circle so wide that everyone is included, a love that works to end oppression in all its forms. But what does it mean to live a life through the lens of love? This Sunday, as author bell hooks would say in her essential text, it’s all about love. Join us for a book-signing after the service, when Rev. Crow will sell and sign her new book Take What You Need: Life Lessons After Losing Everything.
Rev. Jen Crow serves as Senior Minister at the First Universalist Church of Minneapolis. She is the founder of Wellspring, a Unitarian Universalist program of spiritual deepening used across the country. Her commitment to recovery, spirituality, transformative love, and authenticity is at the center of her life and work. She lives with her wife and kids in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Book signing with Rev. Jen Crow after the service!
Join us for a book-signing with our Pulpit Guest after the worship service, when Rev. Crow will sell and sign her new book Take What You Need: Life Lessons After Losing Everything. Punctuated by the experience of losing all her possessions in a fire, this survival guide, spiritual companion, and light in the dark offers hope, humor, and real-life spiritual tools to meet the hardest moments of our lives. See this flyer for more about the book.
