Commit your way to the Lord; trust in the Lord, and the Lord will act. — Psalms 37:5

Religion is considered to be uniquely human. The cognitive capacity for religion likely first emerged in Homo sapiens in the Upper Paleolithic era around 50,000 years ago.

Early human beings created rituals, dances, and symbols as they expressed their inner and outer experience of transcendence. Could it be that built into nature and life and our own psyches, there is an aptitude, a predisposition, a grasping to understand and relate to the larger something that is both within us and beyond us? This fall kick-off Sunday, we invite you to commit or recommit yourself to the the great mystery and source of life.
