Holy sacred Spirit, breathe your breath on us.

VU 394 – Moved by the Gospel, Let Us Move. Ruth Duck, United Church of Christ minister, theological educator and hymn poet wrote this hymn celebrating the role of the arts in worship at the request of Janet Pearson Roth, a designer of robes and stoles, who was born in Toronto. It was published in Duck’s 1992 collection “Dancing in the Universe.” The tune, BETHLEHEM, was composed by Gottfried W. Fink in 1843, and has been used in many 20^th century hymn books.

Cosmetics and Your Health

By now, everyone knows about the province-wide ban on pesticides for cosmetic purposes. Cosmetics for your lawn, that is. Fancying up that patch of greenery you park your car beside, the verge that makes you pine for the Emerald Isle, the grass that is (hopefully) greener on your side of the fence. Of course, there are loopholes in the legislation…turn your yard into a golf course or host an international sporting event on your front lawn and you can spray pesticides to your hearts content.

Gracious God, Creator of infinite variety, we thank you for the many different personalities we meet each day: for fresh ideas that expand our vision, for new perspectives that challenge our easy assumptions, for those who teach us new things and increase our understanding of the world, for those whose experience complements our own and makes our community richer for their presence.
