There is an old Hebrew story in which a child asks her Rabbi, "What does God pray for on Yom Kippur?" The Rabbi answers, “May my capacity for mercy be greater than my capacity for justice.” Today as we explore both the teachings of Yom Kippur and the Second Unitarian Universalist principle. We will struggle with what it means to promote justice and the tension that often exists between justice and compassion. We will examine how this plays out in our own lives and at a societal level, particularly in relationship to the present debate over mandatory sentencing. Some of our talented instrumentalists will be joining our music staff in leading us in song. At the 9 AM service "FPC Singers" including some of our youth, will be performing "Let Justice Roll Down" by Aileen Vance and at the 11 AM service our Adult Choir will sing another setting of that text by Moses Hogan as well as some traditional Hebrew music for Yom Kippur. Rev. Tom Rosiello will be preaching and leading worship. For our "Message for All Ages," our youth will present a dramatization of the story of Jonah. We hope you will be with us.
