September 2: Water Communion

Posted on by

Presenter: Karen Fothergill

Like water flowing to the sea, we have returned from the mountains, rivers and quiet places where we spent some of our days this past year then once again returned to our beloved community.

As we come together for our first service of the “new” church year we will celebrate both new beginnings and reminisce together.

Members and guests are invited to bring water from their summer adventures, be they from travels far or near (even from your home water supply).water join

We will be sharing our stories with each other as we participate in our uniquely Unitarian Universalist ritual of water communion, so please be prepared to offer a sentence or two, not only where the water is from but perhaps more importantly, what meaning it holds for you.

As Unitarian Universalists, we have a proud tradition of responding to the imperatives of love and justice to work with those of us who are marginalized and oppressed in society and the world.

Unitarian Universalists covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the rear of the building. Child care is available.

August 19: “Staying Put”

Posted on by

Presenter: Anne Martin

In a world which is spinning faster and faster, it seems that we must run faster, jump higher, to accomplish more in less and less time.

At the same time, our time becomes even more and more fragmented by the many distractions that our modern way of life throws at us. What would happen then if we simply stopped and stayed in that moment of time until the next thing occurred to us?

Anne Martin, in her sermon “Staying Put” will explore the risks and rewards of stopping to attend to what’s in front of us now as opposed to pushing on towards some imagined and ultimately unknowable future.

August 5: “Self-Consciousness is the Opposite of Consciousness” (Forrest Church)

Presenter Karen Fothergill

Karen Fothergill will present our service originally presented April 15th 2007 by Forrest Church of All Souls Unitarian Church in New York City. Church said “Consciousness and self-consciousness are opposites. In fact, they are mutually exclusive. We cannot be conscious, awake to a world of deeper meaning, and self-conscious at the same time.” Join us this Sunday to learn more.
