June 2024: Renewal/Summer Worship Series

5/28/2024

 
June 2: Renewal
Rev. Drew Frantz
As school ends and summer begins, some of us seek renewal in vacation time. This month our denomination is voting on renewing its central statement of values and covenants. This season is one of renewal in the natural world and in the gardens that we tend. What is being renewed in your life? What old growth has to be pruned away to make space for that renewal?

June 9: Flower Communion
Rev. Drew Frantz
​​The special ritual of Flower Communion is celebrated by Unitarian Universalists everywhere. All are invited to bring a flower to the service if you can (we will have extras to share). Each person places a flower in the common vase to represent what you bring to the congregation; at the end, each person takes home a different flower to represent what you receive from the congregation. On this day we will also celebrate graduates in our congregation, and welcome new members who are signing the membership book.​

June 16: Summer Reflection
Norma Bailey
​
Welcome to summer! Summer worship will be different and somewhat shorter; we will still have a hymn, chalice lighting and extinguishing, sharing of joys and sorrows, and an offertory.  However, each Sunday a different member of the congregation will briefly reflect on one of the following prompts: “What I would have done differently in my life” OR “What I wish I would have known as a younger person,” and then we will open up discussion in response to their reflection.  We hope you will join us each Sunday for our summer worship series, which runs through August 11.

June 23: General Assembly Worship Service
Rev. Molly Gordon (UU Church of Columbia)

​The building will be closed Sunday morning, June 23.  We will not meet in person at the Fellowship.

Join us virtually for the largest annual gathering of UUs joining in worship. This powerful, communal worship experience will stream on Sunday, June 23, at 1:00pm. Rev. Molly Gordon (Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia, MO) will lead "Weaving Our Lives."

"We are all tangled up together in a great web of life that is woven with beauty and hardship, love and loss, thriving and struggle. How do we tend well to the weaving so that all of us are held in care?"

May 2024: Pluralism

5/1/2024

 
May 5: Religious Pluralism
Rev. Drew Frantz
​A defining feature of Unitarian Universalism is that we are multi-religious. Our congregations contain people from different religious traditions (Christian, Buddhist, and Jewish, for example); and people of different religious beliefs (atheist and theist, for example). We are a stronger community the more we share our traditions and beliefs with one another: learning, agreeing and disagreeing in love.

May 12: Mother's Day
Rev. Drew Frantz
​Mother’s Day means different things to different people. We make space in this worship service for those whose connections to their mother are joyful, troubled, nonexistent, and everything in between. We also honor abstract versions of mothering including human and divine nurturing. Each of us has the power to bless and to be blessed as we explore motherhood’s many facets.

May 19: The Jewish Wisdom of Repairing Harm
Rev. Drew Frantz
Centuries ago, Jewish scholar Maimonides articulated a best practice to repair harm, laid out in five steps and centered on the needs of the victim. Author Danya Ruttenberg explores how this ancient wisdom applies to our lives today–in instances of interpersonal harm as well as institutional harm–in her book On Repentance and Repair. Insights from Maimonides and Rabbi Ruttenberg inform our lives, our congregation, and our nation.​

May 26: Transgender: Story of Our Lives
Norma Bailey
​Transgender. The construct is not monolithic, that is, everyone’s story is unique. Come listen and learn as four of our members and friends share their stories of what they would like us to know about being trans. As well, we will commemorate Memorial Day on this Sunday.
