SHARE A JOY….SHARE A SORROW
Each Sunday, as a way of sharing our lives together in covenant, we drop a stone to celebrate those moments when joy has entered our lives. We follow those stones with ones to acknowledge moments of sorrow in our lives to help ease the burden. By clicking on the link below, the joy or sorrow you name will be read during the service and a stone dropped in the vase.

The Breaking of the Drought
May, 1902.__Frederick J. Atwood
Listen! __ it rains; it rains!
The prayer of the grass is heard;
The thirsty ground drinks eagerly
As a famished man eats bread.
The moan of the trees is hushed,
And the violets under the banks
Lift up their heads so gratefully,
And smilingly give thanks.
