Healing Into Wholeness
Sunday, November 8, 2020
from 10:30 AM
​with
​The Reverend Gordon Clay Bailey

Come worship with the UUs!

Much of our language around healing is not about wholeness, but about ableness. Shifting our ideas from the ideals of ableism to a deeper understanding of wholeness can help us heal ourselves. This change in perspective might also enable us to be supportive towards the wholeness of others, whether they are healing by our definition or not. Join us with the UUCLV family for an important service about our journey into understanding our whole human family.

Let’s Talk About It

​1. How have societal labels helped, or hurt, you or those you love?
2. What can an individual do to help heal a nation?

Closing Song is Hymn #95 There Is More Love Somewhere

​Benediction and Extinguish the Chalice

Share Your Glorious Light with the World
Within each of our hearts there is a most glorious light.
Go forth, and let its spark help you understand what troubles both you and others;
Go forth, and let its light of reason be a guide in your decisions;
Go forth, and bring its ray of hope to those in need of help in both body and spirit, that they may find healing;
Go forth, and fan the flames of passion to help heal our world;
Go forth, and spread the warm glow of love, pushing back the darkness of the world;
Go forth, and share your glorious light with the world.
by James Morison
