As far back as 500 B.C.E., distinctions were made between life and living. For example, Democritus, a fifth-century B.C.E. Greek philosopher, said, “to live badly, is not to live badly, it is to take a long time dying”. Life can be reduced to the laws of physics and chemistry. And we have invented machines that mimic it. Who knows, perhaps one day we might even create life in a test tube. But living is different and can’t be reduced to the mechanical laws of physics. We will explore what it means to be alive and to experience the fullness of living.

We are honored to welcome Reverend Ernie Mills, Minister Emeritus of our congregation. Reverend Mills served faithfully, guiding us with wisdom, compassion, and unwavering dedication. His legacy continues to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for his presence in our congregation today.
