March 30, 2025 – “Peace Begins With Me”
· Rev. Kristin Powell
Rev. Kristin delivers a heartfelt exploration of how true peace starts within each of us and radiates outward into our relationships and the world. Drawing from her sabbatical experience in Egypt - where a diverse busload of strangers became friends on a pilgrimage to ancient monasteries - she illustrates how the same person can embody both division and connection, reminding us that every person we encounter is somebody's child, sibling, or parent. Rev. Kristin invites us to examine how we show up in our closest relationships, encouraging us to shift from judgment to compassion and to recommit to being the peace we wish to see in the world.
