Sunday April 13th Riley Yeo  - Living Interdependence

“Shared pain is lessened; shared joy increased. Thus do we refute entropy.” ~ Spider Robinson. What would it mean, though, to live in a culture where we truly focused on sharing each others’ pains and joys? As social isolation continues to rise, we come together as UUs to resist hyperindividualism. With our commitments to interdependence and to encouraging each others’ spiritual growth, we remain a countercultural faith. Join Reilly as we continue to explore the unique gifts we have to offer a world in crisis.

What lessons do we continue to take from The Galilean Carpenter in his life, death and after death? How did his call for a reinvigorated Judaism get turned into a different religion? Is Unitarianism a safe home for Christians?

Sunday April 27, Rev. Wendy McNiven - Living Well Until We Die.
American surgeon Atul Gawande has written an engaging book called “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End”. It is, in part, an exploration of how people can be supported in prioritizing what really matters to us, in order to live as “successfully”, as fully as we can until the very end of our lives, even in the face of serious medical problems. Today’s service will explore some of the basic – and demanding – questions we might ask ourselves and each other, as mortal beings. There is no single “right” answer.

Rev. Wendy McNiven is a Unitarian minister, retired and living on Vancouver Island.  She has served congregations in BC and Alberta, and continues her ministry in retirement through leading rites of passage, counselling and coaching.  As a member of the Comox Valley community, she is involved in environmental activism, tai chi, and choral singing.  Wendy and her husband Mike are outdoor enthusiasts and grandparents.
