Together we’ll call on the wisdom and beauty of El Dia De Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) to help us remember our ancestors and loved ones who have died. We’ll create an altar to welcome our ancestors into the sanctuary. We invite you to bring a photo or memento of those you wish to remember.
When have you encountered the Holy in your life? Where have you seen the face of God? Come on a journey with Rev. Madelyn Campbell, the Interim Minister at Bull Run Unitarian Universalists, and let’s see how far we need to go to encounter the Divine.
We experience the holy in different ways. By clinging to our own experience of the holy maybe we are living out the story of the sightless experiencing the elephant.
We who call ourselves Unitarian Universalists hold ourselves accountable for upholding and promoting certain common principles, including trusting democratic processes, even when it’s difficult. In this week’s worship service, echoing the ancient Jewish tradition of Yom Kippur, our Minister will reflect with us about how we might forgive ourselves for falling short of our highest goals, AND renew our resolve to make optimal ethical choices.
Our Children’s Religious Education curriculum this year will include exploration of selected aspects of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures to offer grounding in the common cultural stories and ethics which are still dominant elements of most of our society. In this worship service, our Minister will share his own reflections on some historic threads of Unitarians and others who dissented from dogmatic interpretations of that scripture.
Honoring the Ancestors: Please bring photos of your beloved dead to place on the altar for this annual service of remembrance. We will explore our connections, what grounds us and connects us to our deepest selves and to others and why it matters.
Babysitting WILL be available this Sunday during worship service. Babies and toddlers are always welcome in our sanctuary during services.
This month we explore what it means to be a people of resilience. Each Sunday the sermon will examine a different aspect of this important trait.
Babysitting WILL be available this Sunday during worship services. Babies and toddlers are also welcome in our sanctuary during services.
Both services have been canceled this Sunday due to the winter storm. Enjoy the snow!
This month we contemplate what it means to be a people of resilience. Just as a tree bends with the wind, resilience rests in our ability to flexibly lean and bend. Another kind of leaning is just as important: the practice of leaning on those next to them. Yes, bend with the wind, but no one makes it through the windstorms alone.
