Sermon series intro:
This summer worship series is inspired by Mary Oliver’s “The Summer Day,” which famously concludes with the poet probing us, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do // with your one wild and precious life?” As we dive into the life of summer, and all that these long days call us into being, Rev. Carter will offer a series of sermons inspired by different lines from this poem.
