Sunday Services
May 4th - “’Spiritual Practice’ for U*Us – Our growing edge?” -- Rev. Linda Weaver Horton
Both words – “spiritual” and “practice” – can raise questions for some Unitarians. What does the increasing use of such language among us mean? Are there spiritual practices that come out of our
own Tradition? Why are so many U*Us adopting practices from other traditions? Is there value in deepening the interior dimensions of our spiritual journeys?
Our “Family” Choir will debut this Sunday.This is Community Sunday, so there will be a special collection for the Elizabeth Fry Society.
Please plan to stay for lunch after the service. Over dessert downstairs there will be an Introductory session to Unitarianism and this church, facilitated by our minister. Please come if you want to know more, or are thinking about Membership in this congregation.
May 11th - “An Ethical Will: What Legacy do we offer our Children?” -- Rev. Linda Weaver Horton
This Mother’s Day, my youngest daughter is a new mother. The most important things we pass on
from one generation to the next are values and dreams and the stories that reveal our deepest
loyalties. What would we like the younger folk in our lives to “inherit” from us? How can we let them know what we cherish?
May 18th - “Turning Points” Guest speaker: Jim Taylor -- Service coordinated by Marilyn Raymond
The subject matter derives somewhat from the studies of the McLuhans, Marshall and Eric, into how good intentions can go sour. Essentially, they found that almost anything, pushed to an extreme, tends to "flip" and have exactly the opposite effect from what was intended. The trouble is that no one ever knows, in advance, just where that "flip" will occur. That's why it is only after the fact that we discover that we have become trapped in something sinful, to use some traditional language, or damaging, harmful, in more secular terms.
May 25th - “This Old Church” -- Led by Rick Hardman
A major part of our spiritual journey is where we experience it. Our building is more than boards and plaster and cement. We'll review it's history, all that it gives us, and where we might be going with it.
