November 26: Abundance Without Attachment

11/26/2017

 
In worship this coming Sunday, we will conclude our month-long exploration on what it means to be a people of abundance with a message titled “Abundance Without Attachment” – we hope you will join us!

“Call it the Christmas Conundrum. We are supposed to revel in gift-giving and generosity, yet the season’s lavishness and commercialization leave many people cold. The underlying contradiction runs throughout modern life. On one hand, we naturally seek and rejoice in prosperity. On the other hand, success in this endeavor is often marred by a materialism we find repellent and alienating… So here is my central claim: The frustration and emptiness so many people feel at this time of year is not an objection to the abundance per se... It is a healthy hunger for nonattachment…”     ~ Arthur C. Brooks

November 19: On Being a Stone Soup Community

11/19/2017

 
Join us for worship this Sunday, November 19, as we celebrate our annual multigenerational Harvest Feast service with the theme “On Being a Stone Soup Community.” Through story and song we will together be introduced to the 2017 UUSC (Unitarian Universalist Service Committee) “Guest at Your Table” social justice initiative titled “Small Change Is Big Change.” “Guest at Your Table” (GAYT) is UUSC’s annual intergenerational program to raise support for and awareness about their work to advance human rights around the world. You can read more about the UUSC and this year’s initiative here.

November 12: No Scarcity of Welcome

11/12/2017

 
What does it mean to be a people of abundance? Please join us this Sunday as we dive deeper into this question and welcome guest speaker (and beloved colleague of our minister), Jon Berry, who will be sharing a message titled “No Scarcity of Welcome: A UU’s Year in the Mosque.”

Religious tradition is full of references to being a good host. But what happens when the shoe is on the other foot and we are the guests? Last year, Earlham School of Religion student Jon Berry decided to find out. He began a spiritual pilgrimage of New York, focusing on traditions different from his own. Increasingly that led him into the city’s Muslim community. Join us as Jon talks about what he discovered; the encouragement he found in the experience; and the abundance available to us in the cities in which we live.

Jon Berry is a member of the Fourth Universalist Society in New York City’s Upper West Side. After a career in journalism and business, he earned a Masters of Divinity (M.Div.) in May 2017 from Earlham School of Religion in Richmond, Indiana. He plans to begin training for chaplaincy and to write about religion.

November 5:  The Possibility of Abundance

11/5/2017

 
Please join us for worship with the theme "The Possibility of Abundance," with a sermon given by Tom Moffit. The sermon centers on the question “How do we translate those moments of peace, and grace, and compassion - moments seeing the abundant possibilities of living - into our imperfect lives?”
​There also will be an abundance of music throughout the service.
