Sunday, March 1, 2015: “The Power of Commitment”

Presenter: Rev. Elizabeth Greene

Host: Don Morishita

German author Johann Goethe once said, “The moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too.”

This is true for relationships in churches and other congregations, in our spiritual lives, in jobs and for life in general.

And yet, genuine commitment is difficult for so many. What causes our hesitation when stepping into a commitment that can bring joy and fulfillment?

How do we find the courage and generosity to commit ourselves as fully as possible?

Think about this topic and come ready to discuss.

Sunday, February 15, 2015: “Tribal Unitarian-Universalism”

Host/Presenter: Ray Cross

Sunday’s message is based on a 2013 sermon by Rev. Thom Belote, a Unitarian-Universalist minister at the Community Church of Chapel Hill.

This sermon focuses on how we define ourselves religiously. The church we attend says volumes about us. It describes how we feel toward ourselves, what we think about our fellow humans, the world, God (god), the human condition and life in general.
