Sunday, August 9, 10:30am, Sanctuary - Guilt, Repentance, and Repair
Rev. Marsha Vollkommer, worship leader with Eleanor Burke, celebrant
Guilt is often used as an excuse, a lack of commitment to change, and can end up being self-serving. That's where the repentance and repair comes in.
Sunday, August 16, 10:30am, Sanctuary - Good Sports
Rev. Barbara ten Hove, worship leader with Tom Nicholas, celebrant
While some progressive folks think sports are violent and not PC, I have learned valuable lessons from my engagement with a variety of sports. It’s worth a look at what sport has to teach us about community, fairness, morality, and yes, even religion.
Sunday, August 23, 10:30am, Sanctuary - Prayer
Tom Nicholas and Steffany Raynes, service leaders
Prayer can be complicated for UUs. In this service, we will try to look at prayer with fresh eyes and explore questions like this: What forms can prayer take? What makes something a prayer? How can prayer help build community?
Sunday, August 30, 10:30am, Sanctuary - Saved from What? Salvation UU Style
Rev. Barbara ten Hove, worship leader with Steffany Raynes, celebrant
When asked, “are you saved?” many UUs cringe and don’t know what to say. What if we said yes? What does UU salvation look like and can we find ways to engage with it?
