When is the last time you “changed your mind”? Your public library invites you to do just that by exploring, self-improving, listening, watching, imagining, and connecting. Find out about GVPL’s exciting “Change your Mind” campaign, and how Serious Coffee has partnered with us to spread the news.
There is a power and connection that music can make with us that is unique. Sometimes when words fail us, music expresses what we seem unable to access in any other way. This morning we will explore the power of musical art form by listening deeply to the resonance and message in several different styles and forms of music. What genres of music move you? How does the listening that music evokes translate into other parts of your life?

Each of us have at our core the belief that we are just as worthy as the next person, and yet we are continually being judged by a set of criteria that seems more interested in maintaining a system of privilege than opening doors to diversity. We are all doing the best we can in a world that seems bent on pitting us against each other, and dividing us with resentments and misunderstandings. How can we build a better world?
Young Adults (ages 18-35) are the most underrepresented age demographic in Unitarian Universalist congregations. These days, we can also all be categorized as Millennials – a generation with a bad rep and who also face some serious challenges. Let’s change the narrative from one of desperation for young energy, to wondering how UU communities can best support young adults.

Everyone wants peace. But all too often our vision is that peace will come when other people finally change to become more like ourselves, while we want to stay the same. What if creating peace requires giving up our dreams?
Pat Wictor is a folk/blues/gospel/jazz singer-songwriter from New York, and has been a member of the trio Brother Sun with past Capital UU speakers Joe Jencks and Greg Greenway. Pat will also bring several songs to this service.
“Come sing a song with me” with songs that connect minds, hearts and spirits of people of all ages. We’ll sing as many songs as time allows. “And I’ll bring a song of love” or maybe a few songs of (agape) love for building relationships and community.
“Wally du Temple, who was a social worker during the Sixties Scoop of aboriginal children, presents a convincing case for the need of reconciliation with First Nations and also with Mother Earth.”
