This is the light we shine on systems of oppression until they are no more. This is the warmth we share with one another as our struggle becomes our salvation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Call to Worship<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">It didn&#8217;t take me long to learn that the discipline or practice of writing these essays occasioned a kind of delight radar. Or maybe it was more like the development of a delight muscle. Something that implies that the more you study delight, the more delight there is to study&#8230; I felt my life to be more full of delight. Not without sorrow or fear or pain or loss. But more full of delight. I also learned this year that my delight grows &#8211; much like love and joy &#8211; when I share it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8211; Ross Gay<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Affirming Our Mission<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Together we nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice to build the Beloved Community.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Learn more about Beloved Community at this link. &#8211;\u00a0The King Center<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Meditation Reading<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">It is not futile to do what we do.
