The things we hold on to – past slights, old wounds, times when we seemed incapable of coping or competence – define what our life is like today. How do we let go? And what changes when we do?

We make choices every day of our lives -- really every minute of our lives. The choices we make over and over again determine what influence we will have on our family, our society, and our world. How we make choices becomes a record of our religion and spiritual selves. Explore with us the nature of our choices and how we might bless the world.

Drawing on a range of wisdom that stretches from Shakespeare to 21st Century UU theologian Alice Blair Wesley, we will explore the question of building and cherishing relationship as a theological imperative.
