Calendar
Sunday Services - 11 am at the church and via Zoom
Child care is provided.
December 19, 2021: Rev. James Gibbons Walker. Topic: Wintering. "Wintering", the author Katherine May writes, "is a season in the cold. It is a fallow period in life when you are cut off from the world, feeling rejected, sidelined, blocked from progress, or cast into the role of an outsider." Greta Crosby, in our hymnal cautions, "Let us not wish away the winter."
December 26, 2021: Rev. Terry Ellen. Topic: "Who are we in this seasonal cycling?" Winter solstice and its related holidays highlight the circling seasons and by implication what is constant in the midst of all this change. So it is with us: what remains constant in the continuing changes of our lives? It is here where spirituality and religion find their home.
January 2, 2022: This will be our annual congregation-led Readings. Rhymes, and Rhythms service. Congregation members are invited to perform songs, read poetry, present other readings or do anything else they feel like sharing. If what is shared reflects on the past year or describes hopes for the new year, it will be particularly relevant.
January 9, 2022: Rev. Mike Franch. Topic: Radical Respect in a Time of Disrespect. I can't say that the New Year finds me looking forward with optimism. A large portion of our population seems to have fallen for what I deem, to be nice about it, wacko ideas. In this time of pandemic, these ideas cause unnecessary death. But while I can't respect their ideas, I have to respect the people who hold them - respect them as persons of worth and dignity who deserve my respect and care. I'll still try to show them different ways of looking at the world and I'll still oppose their ideas in the political world. I think the path of Respect not only makes us better people but will enable us to make the world a better place.
January 16, 2022: Rev. Terry Ellen. Topic: "We Must Be Nuts" With the greatest adventure in life open right before each of us every moment, in the midst of the complex unutterable glory of life, disasters included, with loads of testament all around us from the great beings about what is most important and suggestions on generally how to proceed, why are any of us waiting for anything else from anyone else? We do not need any more "intellectual stimulation," which we UUs evidently highly prize. We've already got our best hearts and souls and minds and hands.
January 23, 2022: Rev. Terry Ellen. Topic: "The Genius of the Universalists" The Unitarians were considered heretics, but it was the Universalists who really caught it from the orthodox. And with good reason: by removing hell from the religious equation, they completely upset the dogmatic applecart, taking away the prime motivator for religiously towing the line. With no fear of hell, the orthodox feared chaos. With no fear of hell, the Universalists opened up a whole new world freedom and joy that transformed religion in the West. And we are their ambassadors today.
January 30, 2022: Sahffi. We are glad to announce that Sahffi will return to our church to perform her splendid music again. Sahffi is an international singer/songwriter whose mission is to offer her music as medicine to open and connect our collective heart. a .
