It is a day of love! Who might love you more than your leader? Today we will explore leadership and what makes someone a good leader. This week's intergenerational service will be a performance of the play The Perfect Heart. In four acts, we will contemplate leadership qualities and our ability to offer love to the communities of which we are a part.
