Being Beloved Community - Annual Poetry Service
Rev. Jacqueline Brett with Rev. Daniel Trollinger and Rev. Jim Lewis
Music: Wendy Looker and Kate Lewis

This year's annual poetry service explores the many ways we're in Beloved Community together, featuring poems that express a range of experiences from the personal to our broadest callings and aspirations as a people together. Poems range from those by Maya Angelou and Dante Alighieri to Margaret Walker, along with original writings, presented by ERUUFians across a spectrum of generations and gender identities: Stella Axline, Jay Giles, Dominique Grimes-Medlin, Lisa Jones, Simon Kaplan, Finn Lueck-Wright, Gerda Presson, and Joan Tilghman.

Please contact Lonna Harkrader to place your order, and come to our table on Sunday, July 17 after the worship service to snag a bag of coffee ($15) and some bars of our unique and delicious chocolate ($5).
