WORSHIP SERVICE
"Possibility and Perseptive:
The Poetry of Wisława Szymborska"
Sunday, April 2, 10:50 am, 2026
Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern
and Rev. Laura Shennum, preaching
​
Raised in Poland and spending most of her life in Krakow, Szymborska published only 350 poems. Her poetry is disparate in style and subject, full of surprises, sometimes funny, and often trenchant. An amazing companion to sit with this month, we are invited to turn to poetry. Come listen to some of the words of the poet who in 1996 earned the Nobel Prize in Literature and see if you find any part of your life or your world in her words.
