The Hidden Lives of Each Other

East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

There is always more to a person than what we perceive. We each carry many untold stories, struggles, and joys. In this service, led by East Shore’s High School Youth Group, we will explore how curiosity, love, generosity, and connection can help us see one another more fully. How do we listen deeply? How do we move beyond assumptions and embrace each person’s full humanity? How can this openness strengthen our relationships and our community?
Together, we’ll reflect on the ways we can show up for one another with open hearts, honoring the truth that no one is just the cover of their book. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of the stories we have yet to discover.
