I haven't been to a service in years, so this comm makes me hopeful and wistful all at once.
I miss chalice lighting and the aftermath, when people come up to share their joys and concerns and light a candle for each. I miss the music--oh god the music (1/3 of the congregation I grew up in were professional or very serious amateur musicians--we had so much amazing music), and coffee hour. I miss feeling like the congregation was just one big religious support group for our own individual searches for truth.
It would make me very happy if there was space for sharing joys and concerns, music, food recipes, and interesting texts here, especially if it was a weekly thing. Perhaps a regular Sunday Coffee Hour post?

Thank you for starting this up.
