February 15:  Nurturing a Spiritual Posture of Embrace

1/28/2015

 
Please do join us for worship this Sunday, February 15 as we continue our month-long series on aspects of love. The title of the sermon reflection is “Nurturing a Spiritual Posture of Embrace.” This service will feature the world premiere of the choral composition “The Third Principle” by David Wolfson.

“The purpose of the church is to provide spiritual sustenance for world engagement. Now more than ever, the world needs our congregations to be incubators of a generous, loving, justice-seeking spirituality...this is a description of true spiritual growth: growing hearts and souls large and supple enough to embrace – to love – more and more of our complex world. This is the spirituality of the third Principle of Unitarian Universalism.” ~ Rev. Rob Hardies, All Souls Church Unitarian, Washington, DC.

February 8:  Caring for Those in Grief

1/27/2015

 
“Not till we are lost, till we have lost the world, do we realize the infinite extent of our relations.”
~ Henry David Thoreau


Join us this Sunday, February 8 as we continue our month-long series on aspects of love with
“Caring for Those in Grief.” The sermon reflection will be presented by Guy Newland
and the worship leader for this service is Norma Bailey; Chris Bailey will serve as worship associate.

February 1: What's Love Got to Do with It?

1/25/2015

 

February 2015 Theme: Love

1/24/2015

 
February 1, we begin a month-long exploration on the aspects of love and it’s meaning in our lives.
We hope you will join us!

“To be sure, we have developed many ways to avoid love’s call into larger unity, and this has been at great cost, individually and collectively. “There is life without love,” writes Mary Oliver. “It is not worth a bent penny, or a scuffed shoe. It is not worth the body of a dead dog nine days unburied.” The work of religion might be described as claiming life’s larger worth by inspiring and equipping us to choose and practice love anyway. Despite our fear of loss. Despite our culture’s messages that love is desirable but fleeting, personal but not political, attractive but impractical. Despite the forces that would have us believe we can have love in our lives without challenging the lovelessness of oppression in the world. We are called, in the name of love, to imagine and remember the larger wholeness in which we all belong and, in so doing, to recover our wholeness within.” ~ Karen Hering

January 25: Our True Work: Faith Embodied

1/18/2015

 
This Sunday, January 25, we conclude our month-long exploration of “faith” with the theme
Our True Work: Faith Embodied.

“Being a UU means searching for your own defining religious principles and then allowing yourself to be captured by them. Actively practicing our free religion has an inescapable quality about it. The only choice involved is whether or not to take your emerging personal truths and principles seriously enough to actually live them on a daily basis. Once you find your moral and spiritual guideposts (and these evolve over the years), you have no choice but to follow the path that your guideposts define. This faith tradition, which trusts the integrity and worth of each individual, sets you free not so that you can casually dabble in religion, but so that you can become, as Stephen Carter puts it, “intoxicated” by an authentic, personal faith you cannot help but live, serve, and cherish.”


~ Scott Alexander

January 18: Bending Toward Justice

1/11/2015

 
With lay leader Norma Bailey.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
Barack Obama said: “But here is the thing: it does not bend on its own. It bends because each of us in our own ways puts our hand on that arc and we bend it in the direction of justice.” This service will explore what implication these quotes have for us as we prepare to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.

January 11:  Come to the Edge: Faith and Fear

1/4/2015

 
With lay leader Vicki Chessin.

“The true test of a first-rate mind is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at the same time.”
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
