We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. – Carl Jung Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath. – Emily Dickinson The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
