Join us this Sunday as our guest speaker, Lavonne Limpus, M.A., shares her knowledge of the art of self care. The inherent worth and dignity of every person starts at home. With self care and some basic science, our discussion will offer some practical techniques that can lead to self forgiveness and by extension to the forgiveness of others.

What is at the guiding center of our lives? As Unitarian Universalists, we have drawn upon many sources for inspiration, wisdom, and guidance for understanding our human relationship with one another and all beings, and our planet.

Join us this Sunday as Rev. Jen, our visiting minister from Pocatello UU Fellowship, shares her thoughts on the recent General Assembly.

It is human nature to tell stories, whether we are sharing our experiences that way or envisioning fictional narratives that tell us something important about human nature. Our perceptions of reality are reflected in the tales we tell each other. And, more importantly, those same stories demonstrate our fundamental beliefs. This Sunday, MVUUF member Jonathan Thompson will talk about the importance of storytelling as an art that belongs to everyone.

We Americans rank dead last in religious literacy. When and how did this happen? What can we do about it now?

This Sunday, our visiting minister, Rev. Jenny Peek, shares her thoughts on bringing some religion into the classroom, or otherwise augmenting early and primary education with religious studies. What could possibly go wrong?!

One of the boldest Unitarian Universalist Principles is our 6th Principle — “The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.” This Sunday join political science professor and MVUUF member Perri Gardner for an exploration of this bold goal. Together we will consider the challenges to a true “world community” and learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHRM 1948) which strives to create “peace, liberty, and justice for all.” Finally, we will take action to protect human rights by exploring Amnesty International’s Write for Rights campaign.

Understanding other religions is helpful in opening our minds and hearts to communities of people who may be different from our own religion. Islam is one of the Abrahamic religions and the second largest religion in the world. Yet, it is not widely understood in the United States, with many misconceptions of their beliefs. Join us to learn more about Islam and what it means to be Islam in the United States and in Idaho.

Don Morishita will be the Worship Associate

Giving back to our church community is just one thing we do keep our Fellowship healthy and vibrant. Don Morishita will lead a service to reflect on what is important to our Fellowship, and then time to clean the inside and outside of the church, and then time to celebrate with a potluck gathering.

There will be no regular Zoom service.

From the earliest ‘anti-trinitarian’ opinions and universal salvation on to desegregation of Unitarian Universalist congregations and support of Freedom to Marry, where our ancestors raised reverent doubt, pushed the envelope and sometimes were martyred, so go our contemporaries today.

This Sunday, Rev. Jenny Peek, our visiting minister from Pocatello will join us in person. Rev. Jenny’s reflection is timely, offered ahead of General Assembly, where our delegates will vote on the proposed Article 2 revision.
