Worship With Us
Join us for worship this Sunday at 9:55am (or watch it later) on YouTube. We will send the exact link in the next couple of days. Our scriptures are from the song/poetry of Psalm 13 (‘How long, Lord?’) and from the early church - Acts 17:22-28 (‘…search for God and perhaps grope for God and find God…’). Our reflections are based on the idea of an Unknown God (also in the Acts reading).

The music is a wide variety that you will surely appreciate and there will be several special guests. Please join us and remember that you can add comments – including prayer celebrations and concerns – in the chat area that runs alongside as you participate in worship. You may want to bring an object that speaks to your connection with the Holy.

You can find worship services of the last few months on our YouTube Channel or on Facebook.com/ParkwayUnitedChurchOfChrist under videos.

Humor
My High School Reunion was last weekend...
I ran into these twins I hadn’t seen since graduation day, and I thought to myself...
“Well, you two still look the same.”

Inspiration
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In this Grad Month, we are featuring graduation speeches. This excerpt is about six minutes long. Well worth it!

Stephen Colbert’s speech to Northwestern’s 2011 graduating class — a school he attended but from which he did not graduate — was full of his trademark wit and snark. But it was also deeply warm, and reminded the graduates that their lives are bigger than just them. “After I ‘graduated’ from here, I moved down to Chicago to do improvisation,” Colbert said. “There are very few rules to improv, but one of the first ones I learned was that you are not the most important person in the scene. If everybody else is more important than you are, you will naturally pay attention to them and serve them. The good news is, you’re in the scene, too. So hopefully, to them, you are the most important person, and they will serve you… Service is love made visible.”
