An Egg in the Hand

An Egg in the Hand
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
February 25, 2024
Rev. Kevin Tarsa with Gail Johnson Vaughan, Worship Associate

These days, some students learn to practice the realities of parenting by tending to fancy simulator babies for a time. Earlier, a lower tech teaching tool reigned: students were handed an egg or a hollow eggshell and asked to keep it with them and to keep it whole and safe for somewhere between two days and two weeks. Results varied.  

This Sunday, the morning after our lively stewardship kick-off dinner, we consider the precious egg in our own hands.
