"How The Light Gets In: A Sermon on Wholeness and Healing," led by Rev. Ben Myers
November 24, 2024 at 10:00 AM
Healing is ‘usually’ presented to us as something binary: something is either broken, or it has been healed from that brokenness. But that’s not how healing happens. Leonard Cohen wrote; “There is a crack in everything…that’s how the light gets in.” The sermon aspires to ‘shed some light’ on ways of thinking about repairing ourselves and the world.
