Genuine sharing – especially in the grips of a global pandemic – is vital to community health, and the annual “Favorite Poem Service” celebrates sharing in deep and personal ways. This summer-service ritual is intimate, layered, and always surprising, structured on a format as simple as it is powerful: A person presents themselves before the congregation, tells why a particular poem is important in their life, and then reads or recites the poem. Tears, laughter, and awe guaranteed.
