GRAND BALLROOM

"Harvest the Power!"

Sunday morning worship with Rev. Doug Kraft, Lead Minister, Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento.

 

To "harvest the power" we must first see our fears, be they about ourselves, the lives around us, or the condition of the larger world. If we cannot see our fears clearly and gently, they will drive us. Once we do see, we are in a position to step out of the fear and choose love instead. Then we don't have to harvest the power. The power harvests us.
