Presenter: Rev. Matt Alspaugh

Service Associate: Dee Dee Camhi

Or conversely, that we can be so filled with joy that we are brought to tears? There is something about joy that elevates it among the emotions, intertwining it with those others, so that joy forms a foundation for our emotional life, if we let it.
