i believe in the sun though it is late in rising

sermon topic today: keeping faith. it's a play on words. which is rather unfortunate. considering the reference to to an 8 year old girl named faith who died last year of a brain tumor. her parents will speak. the children from her class at school raised money to commission a menorah for the church which will be dedicated today. it's somehow related to the 9 spoons holocaust story. we're singing pieces from allan's cantata which is about the holocaust - poetry of victims and survivors, texts from hebrew scripture. it's very beautiful.

so it actually sounds like a really nice service. i just wish we weren't doing it twice. and me with no knitting. i was considering bringing fotr and trying to read subtly through the second service. i don't think that would be appreciated. alas.

and right after i get home, we're off to rach's friend's house for a little pre-thanksgiving potluck. ::sigh:: yet another gathering where i won't really know anyone. i'll just try to keep my friendly, interested smile on.

and shit, i'm going to be late. ::jumps in shower::
