Awe and the Sacred Pause
by Melina Bondy
Service leader: Lisa Clendenning
Science is starting to catch up on what religion has always known, that awe and wonder are good for us, maybe even vital for human flourishing. In this service we’ll look at some of the research on wonder and connect it to the mindfulness practices of Thich Nhat Hanh called gathas. This will be an experiential service – come ready to wake up wonder.

Growing Our Roots: The History and Hope of UU
Rev. Victoria Ingram
We continue our monthly exploration of UU history by focusing on the 8 Principles of our faith.
Each month, Rev. Victoria will unpack a selection from our Principles and explain how the statement came to be included, how it has been used and interpreted, and what each means in relationship to how we work together as a church community and how we personally make choices about our lives

UU PRINCIPLES 2 AND 3
Rev. Victoria Ingram

Principles Two and Three
Exploring the next of our UU Principles brings us to the exploration of dichotomies. Our Principles call our congregations to covenant and affirm the values they contain – justice, equity, acceptance of one another. But the same statements include the words compassion and encouragement for spiritual growth. Sometimes the two parts of one Principle seem to call for potentially conflicting behaviors. We’ll explore how to work with these dichotomies.

Join us either in person or online.
