WORSHIP SCHEDULE
  • Worship Schedule
    Sunday, March 2nd: "Matters of Faith"
    by Rev. Karen Stoyanoff
    How do we, a group that prizes rationality and realism deal with the question of faith? Can faith be part of our life given our commitment to logic and reason? What is it that we might have faith in and how will that impact our lives? These and other questions will be explored in this service.
    Service Leader: Gerri McNenny

    Sunday, March 9th: "Plant Seed, Harvest Justice"
    Inspired by Rev. Katherine Jesch for UUSC Justice Sunday
    Whether in local U.S. communities or in low-income communities of the Global South, growing resistance to the land grab by powerful multinational interests is creating openings for new structures to organize the production and distribution of food. Building on our understanding of food justice and ethical eating, how are Unitarian Universalists engaging with this added dimension of food sovereignty, both in our own communities and around the globe?
    Service Leader: Bob Cerince

    Sunday, March 16th: "Transcendentalism"
    by Rev. Karen Stoyanoff
    Much of our current understanding as Unitarian Universalists is influenced by the Transcendentalists who lived and wrote and preached during the nineteenth century. This service will explore what they believed and how they changed the thinking of their era and ours.
    Service Leader: Gary Sjogren

    Sunday, March 23rd: "The Courage to Be"
    by Rev. Karen Stoyanoff
    Theologian Paul Tillich talked about what real courage is in a world where meaning-making is very hard work, where nothing is certain, where life often besets us with pain, sorrow, and struggle. Real courage is in saying "yes" to life!

    Sunday, March 30th: "Advice from a Chalice"
    by Maggie Yenokie, MDiv., Pastoral Care Chaplain, currently serving Throop UU Church in Pasadena
    The folks at Your True Nature have some advice for us. The advice they share comes from many diverse sources such as: a bear, a pumpkin, a tree, a spider, the Earth, and many more! In this service, we will explore how the advice available to us from our own UU Chalice can bring challenge, growth, and resilience! Others who have heard Rev. Maggie speak on this topic were intrigued and inspired. You may be as well.
    Service Leader: Anne Thorward

    Sunday, April 6th: "Choose to Bless the World"
    by Rev. Karen Stoyanoff
    We make choices every day of our lives -- really every minute of our lives. The choices we make over and over again determine what influence we will have on our family, our society, and our world. How we make choices becomes a record of our religion and spiritual selves. Explore with us the nature of our choices and how we might bless the world.
