In an effort to be present and contribute to the building of community in the midst of our presently healthy practices, of self isolation and social distancing, I have committed each week to offer a brief mid-week video message. I hope you find it helpful.

This week’s video is a compilation of photos that seek to capture the love lived out in our community, set to a beautiful song, Can You Feel the Love, written by Eve Goldberg and performed by Gathering Sparks.  You can find their music at their website www.gatheringsparks.com and various platforms such as iTubes and Spotify.  Here are the lyrics.  I’m certain you’ll be moved to sing along!

A special thanks to Jane Lewis and Eve Goldberg for granting permission to use their beautiful work.

CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE

Can you feel the love
Can you feel the love
Can you feel the love
It’s a love that’s gonna see you through

You’re in trouble, I heard the news today
I’d like to see you, but I’m too far away
I close my eyes, I send a message to you
I send a love that’s gonna see you through

Can you feel the love…

Heavy burdens weigh you down like a stone
You may feel forsaken, but you are not alone
Remember the love that is there for you
It’s a love that’s gonna see you through

Can you feel the love…

When I lay me down at night, I ask the stars above
Guide us on this journey, give us just a little more love

Can you feel the love…
