“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough”

These words of Rabindranath Tagore invite us to consider the beauty, the depth and the ceaseless march of Time and to reach for meaningful ways of measuring our life span.

Who was Isaac Newton, and what did he do, apart from getting hit on the head by an apple? Well, he discovered the laws of Mechanics and Universal Gravity, and investigated light and optics, thus initiating our modern Scientific understanding of the Universe. He was the inspiration for the Enlightenment and the American Constitution. He was a convinced Christian, who believed in a duty of love and charity to all mankind. He refused to let conventional ideas bind him to the authorities’ vision of things. Oh yes – and he was a Unitarian! (Not many people know that…)

Led by Mike Rutter. Starts 10.30 am.  All welcome.

“We reap the fields and orchards. We gather in the crops.
The gleaners at the margins look for our gifts.
Share the bounty of the land: Open heart and open hand.”
Yvonne Aburrow

Hafiz says, “We can come to God dressed for dancing or be carried on a stretcher to God’s ward.”

Let’s dress for dancing and rediscover some of the original joy that resides deep in each of us. The service will explore the theme of joy in troubled times as inspired by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu in their book, Lasting happiness in a changing world.
