How's Your Reception?

Sermon delivered by Rev. Debra Garfinkel, June 10, 2007.

It’s June – a traditional month for weddings. Our family just celebrated the marriage of our eldest child, our daughter. There was a glorious sunset, a fragrant ocean breeze, and a beautiful couple who adore each other. How amazing to be a witness to their love and commitment when it seems only yesterday our daughter was racing from one Disney ride to another. Emotions ebb and flow like the sea and feel just as deep. Time seems to hang suspended as we share in our daughter and our new son-in-law’s joy.

Moments such as these are precious and sacred. Please join us this Sunday as we consider the act and the art of receiving. The best gifts are those that are shared.
