These are difficult times in the USA and around the globe. Corona virus infections, hospital admissions and death rates have continued to increase in many places. Additional excessive violence by the police against people of color has forced many to begin to respond to the realities of our country’s racial history. Perhaps this disruption-filled time may provide an opportunity to birth new possibilities. We need to acknowledge the pain before we prepare to begin anew.

We all have heard about angels, those supernatural benevolent beings who serve as intermediaries between the divine and humanity. Sometimes they are doing good works, other times they herald good news or are simply present to watch over us. In recent weeks angelic individuals have served us and eased our passage through the shadow of the pandemic. They come in various form, delivery people, store clerks and health care professionals. This morning let’s explore the concept of angels and how nurses might be a real life manifestation of such beings.

We UUs are ̶ by inclination and intention ̶ seekers. We seek knowledge and we seek insight. Sometimes intentional travel is our pathway and sometimes we journey within. Let’s travel together. Welcome Dennis back with us this Sunday!

In this dark season and in these dark times in our country, we need more than ever to seek and to find the sustaining and inspiring light of new possibilities to guide us on our way forward. Let us celebrate in ritual, in song, and in story the powerful message of hope, love, joy, and peace that the Christmas story offers to us all. Dennis is a retired UU minister coming to visit us from Eugene.
