Putting love at the center of our faith means reflecting on the many ways we understand love. One way is thinking about love as the ultimate creative force. How does love inspire creativity? What does love drive us to invent? Join guest preacher Martha Durkee-Neuman for an exploration of some surprising stories from history of what has been invented through acts of love and a reflection on what is possible for us through the creative power of love.
