Sunday Service, Aubry Atwater & Elwood Donnelly
Sun, Mar 08
|First Unitarian Church in New Bedford
Joy, as described by so many spiritual leaders and thinkers, is our birthright, a portal to our humanity and connection, a ballast and energizer to our quest for peace and fairness. And yet, joy can be elusive. How do we access joy? What is our daily, our hourly practice?

About The Event
Sunday Service at 11 AM. Coffee and conversation after service!
Join Aubrey and Elwood in a delightful examination of joy and the role of warmheartedness, beauty, and humor in our lives including "joy on the front lines" in this challenging, mortal world. Aubrey and Elwood hope their words and songs will leave you feeling rested, lighter-hearted, moved, and inspired.
“To those who…deny the human spirit, I give you these chroniclers of its joys and sorrows, light and dark, hope and despair, and say that they have but liberated what is in us all. Their dancing notes say, ‘Here it is! Humanity’s real self. Look! Isn’t it wondrous?”
— From a poem written about Aubrey and Elwood, “The Folk Singers” by Philip R. Pearson, Jr., longtime member of the First Unitarian Church of Providence, published in his book Poetry is to be Consumed, Vantage Press, NY
