Songs speak to us in ways that other forms of communication can only aspire towards ... the one we associate with a love; the one that played at a memorial; the one we go to when we need to cry, or laugh, or get pumped, or slow down; the one that serves as our communion with the Holy.

I invite you to get a preview of the work that our guest musician, Heather Pierson will share with us on Sunday (she is also, by the way, giving a concert with her trio this Saturday at 7:30 pm as part of the Earth Room Concerts series), meditative pieces that seek to "draw you into a harmonious space and hold you there for as long as your heart desires" ( Heather Pierson and Bernice Martin, Heart Songs and Circle Songs ). Listen to as many as you'd like in this 23 minute series:


How does music touch your heart?
How does a song connect you with something within or outside of your self?
What song might you share with this community of care some time in the future?
JOIN US THIS SUNDAY!

We All Have a Song
Rev. Craig Rubano, Co-minister
with Heather Pierson
What is it about a song…the way it connects to the breath, to hope, to healing…the way it connects us to one another, to the Holy? My own path to ministry came through the power of song and, this morning, I’ll explore the special, prayerful qualities that song has to join people together across differences. We’ll welcome among us Heather Pierson—pianist; songwriter; performer; former musical director of The First Universalist Church of Norway, Maine; and co-creator of a collection of meditative Heart Songs and Circle Songs , from which we’ll dip for collective inspiration. As one of Heather’s pieces declares, “we all have a song.” What is your “song”?
