Saturday we will have a Tai Chi Workshop beginning at 2:30 in the afternoon. With deep roots in Chinese philosophy and martial arts, tai chi develops and strengthens mind-body-spirit connection.

Through our afternoon together, we’ll explore the history of tai chi, ways it is used today both as a health practice and a spiritual practice and try out some movements together.  Movements can be adapted to best fit the needs of your particular body, so people of all ages and abilities are invited to attend.  

Conjunction Junction, What’s Your Function?  10:30 a.m. Sunday, May 12, 2024

Jeannine Robinett’s message will entail how we use language, specifically the little conjunction “and” to look at the world in new ways?
The word “but” is a limiting word.  “And” opens and expands.  How can we use language, specifically the little conjunction “and” to look at the world in new ways?

From the mental health website, Verywell Mind, empathy is characterized by an awareness of other people’s emotional experiences and an attempt to feel those same emotions from their perspective. Compassion is characterized by the desire to take action to help the other person. The work of professionals in healthcare, and especially those who work in hospice care is the ultimate of empathy and compassion. Join us this Sunday to hear Lelja Becirovic share her experiences in hospice care.

Interdependence is the theme for the month of April for Unitarian Universalists. One value of interdependence is that it can be a way of getting through difficult times. It is often said that laughter is the best medicine and sometimes our interdependence includes laughing with one another, especially in trying times. Join us this Sunday for a service where we will share jokes, humor and laughter to celebrate our interdependence. Please feel free to bring a joke or humorous story to share.

This talk highlights the unique journey of Idaho women in securing their right to vote, showcasing show they diverged from Eastern tactics to craft a strategy that matched Idaho’s distinct political and social landscape in the late 19th century. Through organizing, campaigning, and leveraging political alliances, Idaho women were instrumental in achieving suffrage in 1896, ahead of the national movement.

We want to do our best, right? The more something matters to many of us, the heavier the weight of responsibility becomes that we ‘get it right’. What if ‘getting it right’ were as simple as giving up on being right all the time? This Sunday, Rev. Jenny Peek shares her message on perfectionism, naming it for the troublemaker it is in our faith community.
