This Sunday Mary McGinnis will lead a discussion about the role “gender” plays in our society and an exploration of our own views with an emphasis and closer look at our everyday language.  The title comes from a project of the Ms. Foundation for Women in the early seventies, resulting in a record album and a book of the same name.

It has been over forty years ago since the “Free to be me and you” project. What progress have we made towards the project’s goal, and where does gender bias live in our society today? There will be an opportunity to list gender-identified words, phrases, sayings, stereotypes, descriptions, etc.  Those who wish can share what you think about men and women; what you say about men/women; and how you behave.  Can we really affirm “the inherent worth and dignity of every person” if we confine their individuality within pre-set and pre-judged parameters of gender?

In a world where toddlers are in competition to get into the best preschools and bestselling books have names like “Achieve Anything in Just One Year”, many of us seem to be hurtling relentlessly toward a destination, seemingly paying little attention to our journey. What might this singular quest for “something” be costing us?  In this service we will explore how we might open ourselves to receiving the ordinary miracles and holy moments that each of our journeys have to offer us.

On June 19th, many people in the United States will celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, in recognition of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Why not celebrate January 1, 1863, the day Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation took effect? Because it took until June 19, 1865, for Union soldiers to arrive in Texas and enforce the Proclamation. This Sunday we will learn more about this holiday and its history as well as celebrate this significant day.

Unitarian Universalist (UU) principles include affirming and promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person, acceptance of one another, and compassion in human relationships.  These principles are rooted in love.   However, loving ourselves and others can be challenging.  Many obstacles may interfere with being loving.  One major stumbling block is fear.  Fear can stem from concerns such as not being enough or having enough, being focused on the past or future and wanting control.  This presentation and discussion will address how to shift from fear to love in relationships.

“Only when fear lifts, the human heart can open and thrive.”  Forrest Church, UU minister
