Yesterday I went for a run. It was a special run for me. 

Yesterday I ran 21 kilometers, which is a half marathon. 

I didn’t run that far on my own. There were over 600 of us on this run. 

Half marathons are a very popular race. 

With every kind of social group, races have  own trads & habits & norms When you sign up for a half marathon, you get your bib number, 

but you also get a race shirt. 

Now some people will wear that special race shirt for the run. 

The United Church’s mission and service includes working with partners around the world, such as The Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea. Listen to how our partner is working, like us, to live with respect in Creation.

Since I know there are some here who are interested in Unitarian Universalism, I thought I would throw out a couple links that are quite helpful in seeing some of the breadth and diversity of "The Chosen Faith" (as it was termed in a book many years back).
