April’s Ministry Theme:  The Gifts of Interdependence

UU COMMUNITY WORSHIP 
March’s Ministry Theme: The Gifts of Interdependence
11 a.m. Sunday, April 21, 2024

Many spiritual traditions (including Universalism) assert that God is Love. Those same traditions also call humankind to love God with our whole being and our neighbor as ourselves. But if God is Love, what exactly does it mean to love Love? This thought-provoking topic was chosen by Tom Olshefski as part of the 2023 Fall Auction. Join us!

SUNDAY SECOND HOUR —
a time for connection and friendship!

Sundays from 12:30-1:30PM we provide supervised childcare for children 7th grade and younger. Most Sundays, weather permitting, care is offered on the playground. Light snacks, such as popcorn or rice cakes with optional peanut butter, are provided. Parents are invited to pick their children up from their religious education class and then sign them into care on the playground.

Sunday Second Hour allows our children the chance to spend time together socializing with free play. It offers parents the opportunity to meet and talk with others and attend church meetings knowing that their children are in good hands.

For more information, speak with Rev. Susan, Sabbatical Minister for Faith Development or Caroline Heins, RE Assistant.

November 8, 2015: Ancestry as Comfort ®

Whenever we have to rebuild a new identity, or mend an old one, we may find clues in our ancestry. Perhaps this is why so many world religions seek to remind us, to comfort us, to reassure us: no, you are not alone. Rev. Alexandra McGee led our exploration this week. Order of Service

This month we will be considering the theme: “What does it mean to be a person of Letting Go?”  It is so easy to get “stuck in the mud” of our lives, trapped in our anger, our pain, resentments, our wounds. To move freely forward into our future we must learn how to let go of […]

This month we will be considering the theme: “What does it mean to be a person of Letting Go?”  Everybody keeps saying that it’s important to be able to “let go.” “Let go and let God,” the 12 Step movement counsels. “Live free from attachment,” is advised in every major religion (and many “minor” ones as […]
