Helping, Fixing, or Serving (Rev. Kim Wilson, 6-08-2025)

Service Description

"Helping, fixing and serving represent three different ways of seeing life," says author and physician Rachael Naomi Remen. "When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole." We aren't taught to see distinctions between the different approaches to our natural urge to be of assistance to another.

In this worship service, Rev. Kim Wilson considers Remen's deep reflections on the essential qualities of each, and how we might bring our wholeness into relationship with others so that we can be a truly healing presence. Through service to others, we and they both are able to grow and thrive.
