There is power in a promise and it is a foundation of being a Unitarian. We keep our seven principles and we make commitments. As we start this new year of Sunday Services what commitments do we need to renew to ourselves and our community. We will explore promises as part of our journey as a faith community.

Join Rosemary as she explores life’s ups and downs through the lens of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. The characters and story are rich with redemption and forgiveness, reflection and new beginnings. We are all on a metaphorical journey, some like Harold are trying to save someone, others looking to figure out who they are, and some just trying to keep it together. It’s never too late or too early to embark on a new journey.

Discussions of capital punishment and physician-assisted suicide rarely mention the decision to self-deliver when life becomes unbearable.  Award-winning documentary “How to Die in Oregon” (available at the public library) deals directly with euthanasia.  In today’s homily, speaker Peter Scales hopes to illuminate the morality and legality of self-delivery.
