Jane Bennett Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What if most of what we worry about is not as real as it feels in the moment? Worry tends to take small uncertainties and stretch them into large and threatening stories that rarely match reality. Worry does not improve the future as much as it burdens the present. It pulls us into imagined outcomes\u2014usually the worst ones\u2014while making it harder to respond clearly to what is actually happening now. Healing begins as we loosen our grip on those negative narratives and instead practice a curiosity that invites us to reflect on the goodness that may be.<\/p>\n<p><b>For those gathering online:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>We are providing a live-stream of the worship service, starting at 11:00 a.m.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unable to make it to the service in person, please join us on Zoom at our<b>\u00a0(new as of June 2024)\u00a0recurring link:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/98331629932?pwd=cOEssHr9GWCsa6ZFWuqqIbtZFUMrPz.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/98331629932?pwd%3DcOEssHr9GWCsa6ZFWuqqIbtZFUMrPz.1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726618726507000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3LiHsJyjM5ZBdjkMWuF_Iq\">https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/98331629932?pwd=cOEssHr9GWCsa6ZFWuqqIbtZFUMrPz.1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>For dialing in:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 983 3162 9932<\/p>\n<p>Passcode: 121605<\/p>\n<p>Dial by your location<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)<\/p>\n<p>Find your local number:<a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/u\/ac6Phz5wuC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/zoom.us\/u\/ac6Phz5wuC&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726618726507000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3XzVSfasDufTxmPYLLPLZE\">\u00a0https:\/\/zoom.us\/u\/ac6Phz5wuC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your interest and we look forward to seeing you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All are welcome to join us for worship Sundays at 11:00 AM.
