Self-love often is a cliché or an excuse for stuck-ness. But it doesn’t have to be, and indeed, it needs to be powerful and strong. How do we learn to love ourselves in a way that is deep, real, honest, and sacred?

We will play the Sam Smith video, “Love Me More,” which celebrates queer embodied joy, as part of worship in the anthem slot. We will not be able to have the sound on when we stream this video on Facebook and YouTube, because the algorithm doesn’t care that we have copyright permission. So, if you will be watching online, I suggest you watch the video on Vimeo in advance of the service. It’s a wonderful song and video and I don’t want you to miss out.
