eNews for Thursday, March 7

Worship Matters

We will gather this Sunday, March 10 to worship together with Laura McBride presenting her sermon titled “A Search for Meaning.” We hope you will join us.

When a young adult son's search for his own life's path takes him out of his mother's comfort zone and off of her path for him, how does this mother handle the new route? Come and hear about how a covenant brings focus and comfort to a conflicted mother.

If you happen to miss being in worship on any given Sunday, the texts to previous sermon messages (and some of the readings as well) can be found in our website sermon archive.

Upcoming Services

March 17: Listening with Both Ears, by Rev. Chris Rothbauer
March 24: Embracing Our Aging, presented by Gisela Moffit
March 31: A Path of Sincerity and Wonder: UU Reflections on Shinto, by Guy Newland

Baby Shower - Postponed!

We were planning a baby shower for Matt and Elaine Emerick for this Sunday, March 10 right after the service.
But – Charles Kenneth Emerick decided to make his entry to our world early on March 1. We’ll postpone the celebration for a month or so to let the family get acquainted and develop a routine. We’ll keep you posted. They are registered at Amazon and at Target in case you want to bring a gift to the shower.

Welcome to Our Guest Minister on March 17

We would like to introduce you to Rev. Chris Rothbauer who will present our worship service on Sunday, March 17. Chris identifies as agender, and the pronouns that Chris uses are e/em/eir. The following is Chris’s introduction for us.

E is on the steering committee of TRUUsT (Transgender Religious Professional UUs Together) and recently completed a Chaplain Residency at University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky.
