Dramatic Moments During Our 2011 Services

We've been compiling links to video clips and other media which have inspired discussions or sermon topics.  Please email us and let us know if you come across links you find of interest and we'll consider including them here.

"Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You!"

As part of "How Shall We Serve The Guest at Our Table?" part of the inaugural address of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was featured as the dramatic moment. If you haven't experienced it in awhile, take 5 minutes and watch. His call to service still strikes a chord in many of us.

"Repairing the Brokenness"

We screened an edited (to suit the multigenerational nature of our services) version of this video as part of our Mother's Day service "A Permanent State of War." The video includes perspectives from several faith leaders about repentance, redemption and healing the soul of our nation from the brokenness resulting from the use of torture. Within that context, the video addresses the need for accountability for U.S.-sponsored torture and provides information about NRCAT's (National Religious Campaign Against Torture) call for a Commission of Inquiry, urging people of faith to join the campaign.
