“Their heads were always in the stars.” This could be said of Joseph from the Biblical book of Genesis and Luke Skywalker of Star Wars. Their hero journeys have much to teach us about where we come from and why we might be here. Rev. Jules Taylor is our Worship Leader with Mary Dudek as Worship Associate. Gregory Shifrin is our pianist.
