Where the Wild Things Are
Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • August 9, 2023
Not long ago, the creative team took some time to think about the stories that are important to us. I was surprised it wasn’t War and Peace or something by Shakespeare or even the Bible, that came to mind. Instead, the first stories that came to mind were all children’s books. Stories by Dr. Seuss and E.B. White topped the list. True, we find some of the most powerful life lessons in children’s literature. Today we begin a series on lessons we take with us from children’s literature. We'll use our imaginations and contemplate living with courage, living into the gifts we have been given, and finding our place in the world.
After service you will be invited to dig deeper and see how these lessons are also found throughout the bible.
