November 21, 2021: Rev. Terry Ellen. Topic: Thanksgiving. Simple thing yet often overlooked in the face of everything that comes at us in the way of difficulty, perplexity, sorrow, and so on. But this is the very heart of a religious, spiritual, and truthful life. Plus it gives our hearts wings.
November 28, 2021: Rev. Dr. Gabriele Parks. Topic: What are you waiting for? November 29 is the first of Advent this year. In the Christian tradition, Advent is the time of waiting for the birth of the Savior. During the four weeks of Advent, folks wait for the joy, the hope, the love, and the peace which the Savior will bring for them. What are you waiting for? What brings you hope or joy? What can bring you peace? Come to join an interactive exploration of the Advent season through a UU-lense.
December 5, 2021: Rev. Terry Ellen. Topic: Sincerity. In our ironic, even cynical lives, sincerity can seem naive, simplistic. But sincerity harvests the full power of our hearts because it encapsulates and reveals the truth of who we are, where we stand, and that truth is more powerful than all lying and dissembling. To us it gives peace and to others clarity, avoiding all manner of confusion and mistaken ideas and actions. So today we lift us sincerity.
December 12, 2021: Chaplain Karyn Marsh. Topic: The Creation Story of Unitarian Universalism. Creation stories are powerful ways to unite people, transmit cultural values, and provide identity. Accordingly, numerous religions have creation stories that entail the founding of the faith tradition. For example, Islam has the faith story of the prophet, Mohammed, S.A., being directed by God to write the Qur'an and Christianity has the story of the founding of this faith in the Gospels, which entail the crucifixion of Jesus, and the Acts of the Apostles, which describes the early Jesus movement. What, however, is the creation story of Unitarian Universalism? In today's service, Chaplain Karen Bergmann Marsh will explore Unitarian Universalism's origin stories.
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.
