Welcome the Mystery
Led by Rev. Stephen Shick
We are raised to seek facts and revere knowledge. We believe knowing will bring us security and a degree of certainty. Mystery, on the other hand, can be filled with uncertainty and beyond the reach of knowledge. This Sunday we’ll explore the liberating paradox that rests between knowing and mystery, which, Albert Einstein, said is “the most beautiful thing we can experience.”
