What a Donkey Knows
In recognition of the Christian Palm Sunday, Rev. Lee Anne will explore the use of donkeys to make important points in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. And, how sometimes it pays to listen to and heed the wit and wisdom of those who know -- even if they are literally beneath you!

Gratitude & Closing Words
Chalice Extinguishing The Chalice in our Hearts Words by Rev. Eric Cherry
The chalice is lit in our hearts each time that we
pray for vision,
long for healing,
forgive our enemies,
comfort our neighbors,
and prepare for justice’s day.
In its light,
our hope and compassion are renewed and
the covenantal ties that bind each to all become
clear.

Now, by its sacred flame,
The path before us is brightened:
Love prepares our way,
Harmony is in view,
there is no East or West,
no South or North,
Only a world
to greet, and bless
with more Light still.
Amen.
Closing Song Carry the Flame

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community.
We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
