September 2024: The Practice of Invitation

8/28/2024

 
September 1: Election Stress and Self Care
Rev. Drew Frantz
With the national election a little more than two months away, many of us are on edge emotionally, torn between fear and hope about the outcome. Let’s take time this Sunday morning to consider the spiritual wisdom available to us related to elections and governing; and let’s dedicate ourselves to finding the right balance between self-care and action.

September 8: Accepting the Invitation
Rev. Drew Frantz
September is the month of Invitation. What is life calling you to do? How are you being invited to change and grow? Nature is calling you to explore and come alive; a group is inviting you to play and to learn; a movement is inviting you to be part of it. To accept the invitation requires courage and imagination.​

September 15: Offering the Invitation
Rev. Drew Frantz
When we have something special, we want to share it. What are you part of that you would invite others to join? What have you experienced that you would like to share with others? Invitation includes the risk of rejection as well as the hope of growth. May we be courageous enough to take the risk.​

September 29: The Poetry of Rumi
Rev. Drew Frantz
September 30 is the birthday of the Persian mystical poet known as Rumi, born in 1207. Much of his poetry is about love: both divine love and human love. Like love itself, his writing is full of joy, surprises, and challenges. Although written centuries ago–in a far away land and in a foreign language–Rumi’s poetry reveals truth about the pleasure and pain of this being human that is relevant to us today.​

August 2024: Summer Worship Series

8/2/2024

 
August 4: Summer Reflection
Worship Leader: Laura McBride
Kurt Roeder

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.

August 18: Summer Changes
Rev. Drew Frantz
This summer has seen historic events in the nation and the world. Within Unitarian Universalism, our General Assembly in June changed the way we express our values. Putting these changes in perspective helps us also to understand what remains the same.

August 25: Water Ingathering
Rev. Drew Frantz
Welcome back! The Water Ingathering is a special ritual that marks the beginning of the Fellowship’s year as summer turns towards autumn. Everyone is invited to bring water from a place that’s special to you – either at home or far away – and we pour our water into a common bowl. All are welcome: bring your water if you can. You can also participate in the ritual using a pitcher of water provided.​
