Susanne Garmsen “Honoring Our Mothers”
May 8 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Mothers exist in many forms: our actual mothers, matriarch, Gracious Mother, Matrix of Creation, Mother Nature, Earth Mother, Ancient Mother – Grandmother Spirit, etc. On this Mother’s Day,
let us reflect together on the opportunity to mother, to be or to have been mothered, and the ways in which these experiences are expressed on a grander scale. Happy Mother’s Day!

Michael Brown “The Open Heart”
May 29 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Summer is upon us, and with the season comes ways to open ourselves to new ways of being and thinking.  The recent meeting of Unitarians from across the world in Vancouver became a forum of people with open hearts to dive deeper.  We will be joined by Mike Brown, a candidate for ministry, who will lead a conversation of some of the highlights of ACM and what it possible when Unitarians and people of all stripes work together.

Michael Brown is a candidate for Unitarian Universalist ministry, recently earning his Master of Divinity degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago.  He currently lives in Baltimore, Maryland.

Rosemary Morrison “Connection: We’re All in this Together”
Jun 5 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

It is through connection that we can learn to be our best selves. Alternately, a lack of connection can lead to depression and difficulties. Looking through the eyes of sages and scholars, this service will explore connection to help us understand connection more fully and to help us connect deeply and with intention.

Rosemary has been a member of Capital for six years. She was very active in the leadership of this congregation until she moved to Vancouver to attend school. She will be entering her third and final year of a Master of Divinity program at Vancouver School of Theology next fall. She is a Candidate for Ministry with the Unitarian Universalist Association. Rosemary lives in Vancouver and is the proud parent of two amazing adults.
