In her poem “Gate A-4,” Arab-American poet Naomi Shihab Nye shares an account of distress, compassion, and community as she is called to interpret Arabic for a fearful traveler at an airport. The PWR Staff (Pacific Western Region Staff of the Unitarian Universalist Association) has created a worship service that touches on the themes of the poem, with questions such as:

• Who are we called to care for?
• When do we answer the call to serve?
• Where might we be surprised by grace?
