December 18: Waiting, Waiting, Waiting…

11/30/2016

Worship Leader: Norma Bailey

In this post-election season, should we wait to see what will happen in our country and in our world, or should we recognize that our faith requires us to be a hopeful people? Hope calls for action, and action is impossible without hope. If action is our response, what does that look like

December 4: On Patience…and Possibility

11/16/2016

“…for all our knowing, the invitation of this season and its stories is to enter a deeper kind of waiting – to wait without knowing exactly what we’re waiting for. It is a kind of faithful listening, an attentiveness to possibilities we may not even yet imagine. Surely, for all our knowing, the world still contains enough mystery, enough uncertainty, enough proleptic promise that we too in the 21st century can take up this kind of faithful watch.” ~ Karen Hering

November 27: On Covenant…Activated

11/16/2016

Join us this coming post-Thanksgiving Sunday for worship and our minister’s message titled “On Covenant…Activated.”

“We are bound by covenant, each to each and each to all, by what theologian Rebecca Parker calls “freely chosen and life-sustaining interdependence.” [So] The central question for us is not, “What do we believe?” but more, “What do we believe in? To what larger love, to what people, principles, values, and dreams shall we be committed? To whom, to what, are we accountable?” ~ Victoria Safford

November 20: Is There Room at This Table?

11/15/2016

A special multigenerational service to be followed by our annual Harvest Feast celebration.

This service will introduce the Guest at Your Table UUSC (Unitarian Universalist Service Committee) social justice initiative for 2016 title “Defying Hate,” “based on the recent release of the Ken Burns documentary about UUSC founders Martha and Waitstill Sharp, Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War (on PBS). The Sharps defied hate by helping Jews and dissidents escape Nazi Germany using brave, creative methods, many of which could have caused them to be imprisoned, tortured, or worse. Learn more about the Sharps and UUSC’s beginnings.

UUSC is proud to carry forward the Sharps’ legacy by continuing to defy hate and protect the lives and rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and other marginalized groups, both here in the United States and throughout the world.” (info from UUSC website)
