December 3:  Separation of Church and State – The Linchpin of Many of Our Rights

11/26/2023

 
​Norma Bailey
​A battle over the separation of church and state is being waged in our country today.  How does this battle affect you?  What is accurate information about how the founders and the Constitution addressed this issue?  In what ways does our UU faith speak to this issue? And what part might you play in fighting this battle?  Join Norma Bailey in exploring these important questions​

11/19/2023

November 19:   Generosity of Faith

11/12/2023

 
​Rev. Drew Franz
Unitarian Universalists are sometimes reluctant to evangelize–to spread the word about our religion and encourage others to join us. However, if we believe that we have a life-affirming, life-changing, life-saving faith tradition then we should certainly be sharing it. Let’s reflect about both why and how we should be generously sharing Unitarian Universalism with the world.
​
This is the third in a 3-part series of sermons about generosity this month: generosity of resources; generosity of presence; and generosity of faith.

November 12:  Generosity of Presence

11/5/2023

 
Rev. Drew Franz
​One of the greatest gifts that we can give to one another is to show up when someone needs us. This is true in family life, in friendship, and in communities of mutual care like a religious congregation. This type of compassionate presence involves setting our own agenda aside and refraining from giving advice—unless it is asked for. Cultivating this type of compassionate presence in our personal lives and in our congregation is a spiritual practice that we can all benefit from.
This is the second in a 3-part series of sermons about generosity this month: generosity of resources; generosity of presence; and generosity of faith.

November 5:  Generosity of Resources

11/1/2023

 
​Rev. Drew Franz
The importance of being generous with material goods is affirmed in Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity; in the potlatch tradition of Native Americans of the northwest; and in the birthday traditions of hobbits. A wider view of generosity should include not just things and money, but resources such as expertise, knowledge, power, privilege and space. Why is it universally good to be generous? How does generosity benefit everyone? 

This is the first in a 3-part series of sermons about generosity this month: generosity of resources; generosity of presence; and generosity of faith.

October 29, 2023:  Dia de los Muertos

10/22/2023

 
Rev. Drew Franz
​Many religious and cultural traditions celebrate and honor the dead this week  – for example, Dia de Muertos in Mexico; All Souls Day in some Christian denominations; Samhain in the Pagan tradition. Our commemoration of this holiday will honor two members of our congregation, Don Rust and Chris Bailey, who have passed away in the past year. Everyone will be invited to participate in a ritual of letting go using autumn leaves.
