Take the Good with the Bad

Rev. Lucy Bunch preaching with Rev. Dr. Roger Jones, Ministerial Intern Sophia McKean, Worship Associate Celia Buckely, the UUSS Choir, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva

Can we love a book but hate the political perspective of the author? Do we struggle to celebrate the achievements of those who have done harm in the process? These are challenging questions to consider in the age where the actions of other are debated and shared across social media. How do we manage to hold onto the good while recognizing the bad?

*Spiritual Practice: Tai Chi & Qi Gong in the Fahs Classroom at 9:30

*Congregational Meeting after the service, online and in person.  All Welcome.

The Transformation of Silence

Ministerial Intern Sophia McKean preaching with Rev. Lucy Bunch, Worship Associate Eric Gudz, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva

Some scholars have argued that the admonition in 1 Corinthians 14 that women should remain silent was an attempt to reassert control over an outspoken and powerful group of Corinthian women prophets. We will explore this theory alongside Audre Lorde’s essay “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action.” How can reading the voices of marginalized people back into ancient texts inform our lives today? And where and how might our own silences be transformed into language and action?

*Embodied Spiritual Practices at 9:30 am.

*Exploring UUism class in the Fahs Classroom 12:00-1:00 pm.

Flower Communion: Sharing Beauty and Love

Rev. Lucy Bunch,  Rev. Dr. Roger Jones, Worship Associates Courtney O’Neill and Andy Cramer, UUSS Choir with Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva.  Altar design by Terrie Taylor

A Circle Service for All Ages

Rev. Norbert Capek created the Flower Communion in the Unitarian Church of Prague in 1923, and his widow brought it to the U.S. after fleeing the Nazi regime. In the 21st century, Unitarian Universalists all over the U.S. honor this tradition by sharing flowers – and so we will we this Sunday. Bring a stem or two to give away and take home another; but we will have enough to go around if you are not able to bring a flower.

We will also welcome new members who have joined since last November.
