March 10: “Eostre, the Origins of the Bunny and Egg and the Beginning of Summer”

Posted on March 7, 2019 by

Presenter: Guy Hopkins
Easter Ostara_by_Johannes_Gehrts“It is a day of balance, as the day and night hours are approximately the same length. A season that brings fertility and growth, marking our passage into the spring season and into summer. We begin to notice the hours of light getting longer, and the heat of the sun is warmer.

Trees are waking, animals are stirring in their dens and the quickening of the Earth herself, is felt strongly. All things are wanting to take stride, leap about and play. So, we look at Eostre or Ostara to find the origins of the bunny and egg and the beginning of summer.”

March 3: Our Spiritual Journeys

Posted on March 1, 2019 by

Presenters
Digger Zout, Ray Cross, Guy Hopkins, Lisa Knecht

Spiritual journeys for Unitarian-Universalists follow diverse and interesting paths. Some join Unitarian-Universalist fellowships after leaving a religion they grew up in. For others, Unitarian-Universalism is the first organized religion in which they have found a home. For all UUs, our spiritual journeys are an important part of who we are. Join us Sunday as four members of our UU fellowship share their spiritual journeys.

February 17: Stages of Faith

Posted on February 15, 2019 by

Presenter: Jen Blair

Many people attending Unitarian-Universalist fellowships were raised in other religions, so much so that Unitarian-Universalism is often referred to as a sanctuary for religious refugees.  Let’s explore the natural stages of faith development into adulthood and discuss what potential benefits and drawbacks can come from gathering together with others who are in a variety of similar yet different phases of faith and transitional faith stages.

February 10: “The Triumph of Trust Over Experience”

Posted on February 6, 2019 by

Presenter: Rev. Elizabeth Greene

What does it mean when we say we trust someone or something? What does it mean when we say we trust in God, or in the Universe? Does it mean we think things will always go our way? What happens in our hearts and souls when things do not go our way, especially in matters of deep import? Rev. Greene will reflect on these questions, and on how trust relates to faith and hope.
