Join songwriter, song leader and UU community minister, the Rev. Wendy Luella Perkins for a morning of singing, silence and reflection, as we join in Soulful Singing (singing meditation for all). Along the way, Wendy Luella will share some of the songs, stories and insights that have emerged over the past two years of daily online singing. This service promises to be participatory, grounding and uplifting, whether or not you consider yourself a singer.

We set aside this time of quiet to listen to the spirits of others, to create a space for them within our own hearts, that they might feel the power of our attention and the strength of our love. Such is the gift of our hearts. So may it be.
