Did my service today for my UU church. I was a bit nervous in the end. Mostly about things that were out of my control, like announcements that people were supposed to give me by a certain time which got in at the last minute.
Also I'm not 100% certain that our music director didn't make a little subtle snarky comment about my choice of hymns - not like I
wanted to pick the damn things, I was more than fine for her doing it but the secretary told me (at the last minute) that it was my job. But possibly I'm just being paranoid. She was sweet in all other conversations so it'd be weird if the one comment was snarky.
A couple of people asked what I would be saying so here it is for those who are interested. In honor of the equinox, the service was on "The Autumn of Life". I and 2 other people read essays and then opened the mic up for people to share.
( Here's what I read )
