Rev. Ellen Barron's talk title on Sunday, June 28, is Widening the Circle of Compassion.

 

How do we actively practice widening the circle of compassion? In a divided world, compassion often stays close to those we know. Yet spiritual growth calls us to further expand our understanding, empathy, and love. This Sunday, we’ll clarify what it truly means to “widen the circle of compassion,” reflect on our shared humanity, and consider how making compassion a daily practice can have a deep impact on us and those around us. Join me as we focus on why this intentional practice matters, especially in challenging times, and how it can lead to meaningful transformation.

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” — Albert Einstein

 
Scripture:  As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.  Colossians 3:12

 

Affirmation: I am an expression of Divine love extending compassion and understanding. 

Blessings,
Rev. Ellen
