Stories frame and color our lives.  The stories we tell about the past shape the future.  The stories we tell about the future we want help us chart the path to get there.

Sunday, everyone in our congregation will share personal stories. We’ll share stories that reflect the Unitarian Universalist principles or traditions which guide us on our walk here on earth.

We’ll get to know each other better – we’ll be brave and honest – we’ll have fun!

Whether it’s a story used to teach children a message, or a story your grandmother told you, we will share the pulpit and enrich our sense of belonging. This storytelling Sunday will strengthen us all and remind us that the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist fellowship is a place for everyone.

Unitarian Universalism is a faith tradition that draws on many spiritual and religious traditions. The story of the Good Samaritan is an example of the second principle of Unitarian Universalism, which affirms and promotes justice, equity and compassion in human relations. Join us this Sunday as Tom Schwartz uses this story to focus on the Christian mandate to move beyond tribalism in seeking social justice.

We’ll have a cookie exchange. Each person is asked to bring a dozen cookies – – but if you can’t, come anyway.

Our own J Robert will lead us in Christmas songs. Bring a beverage of your choice, including wine. Cider will be available.

Not so long ago, harsh winters and long nights brought people closer to the hearth. Seeking warmth for our bodies and companionship for comfort, people knew winters were survivable only if resources were accessible. Yet even in the most uncertain of times, there is hope and delight, wonder and joy. Rev. Jenny Peek, Pocatello UU Fellowship, joins us this Sunday for a reflection on winter solstice.

 Our first principle of Unitarian Universalism is affirming and promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the seventh principle is affirming and promoting respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. These two principles closely align with the basic philosophy of health care. Join us this Sunday as Dr. Daniel Preucil shares his experiences as a palliative care physician.

People gather in religious or spiritual communities for many reasons. Among these are a desire for community, connecting with something greater than oneself, or to join others in social justice. All of these are powerful reasons to regularly gather. This Sunday, Rev. Jenny Peek will share her metaphor of ‘the theology wheel.’ This wheel is a tool for exploring aspects of personal theology, practicing its application in real world circumstances, and closing any personal gap we feel between what we think/believe–and how we choose to be in the world.

Jen Okelberry will be the Worship Associate

Join the MVUU Fellowship for a discussion about the place of spirituality and religious community focused on the experience of younger folks.

There will be no Zoom service this week.
