10:30 a.m. Worship: "The Grace of This World," Rev. Scott Alexander, senior pastor of River Road Unitarian Church, in a pulpit exchange with Rev. Henley. We live in a rich and amazing creation, yet for some reason, it is all too easy for human beings to fall into the deadly habit of not noticing its abundant and profligate grace. But that, of course, is not the full spiritual story of our world, for life on this planet can also be filled with capriciousness, loss, and danger. Let's devote a Sunday to thnking about all of this a little more deeply than our busy lives usually allow.
