June 16: “Our Fathers”

Posted on by

Presenter: Malcolm Metzler (MVUUF Fellowship)

This Sunday’s message will be a Father’s Day tribute of sorts, to fathers of all kinds and everywhere.

In addition to sharing some personal experience of what his father meant to him, Malcolm will share some stories from his own experience being a father later in life than he ever expected.

He will also share some thoughts about what it means to be a father in a UU context, how our life experiences as fathers are changing rapidly — experiences which are becoming more diverse and perhaps less gender-biased, compared to traditional notions of fatherhood.

Unitarian-Universalism honors the differing paths we each travel. Our congregations are places where we celebrate, support, and challenge one another as we continue on our spiritual journeys.

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 working on becoming handicapped-accessible but are not fully there.  To avoid steps into the sanctuary please enter through the rear entrance to access a sloping hallway leading to the sanctuary. Please park in the rear of the building or on the street, in front or the side of the building. Child care is available during the adult portion of the service.

January 20: “Daughterhood”

Presenters:
Kacee O’Conner, Debra Smith,  and Emmie Schlobohm

Three daughters, Kacee O’Connor, Emmie Schlobohm, and Debra Smith, members the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, will share how they use their Unitarian Universalist principles to meet the challenge when they suddenly find themselves caregivers to their aging mothers. Some days they struggle living up to their Unitarian Universalist principles when it comes to taking care of their mothers’ emotional needs and some days they don’t do a good job of taking care of themselves.

Often, they are befuddled by the emotional whirlpool that living so close to someone who is nearing the end causes. How can they help each other? They are working with others to form communities that offer support, resources and sometimes just evenings of whining with wine. These three women will share how they use their Unitarian Universalist principles to help navigate this challenge.

REMINDER:
We now meet at our new location:
160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls
