Belonging, August 29th, 2010

Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer, Director of Religious Education Karen Lapidus and Worship Associate Eric van Baars – At this special multigenerational Ingathering Service we will celebrate the joy of belonging. Please bring a very small vial of water and soil to the service from a place that you feel you belong (symbolic water and soil is fine if it is not possible for you to get it from the place you have in mind). Children aged 3 and under will attend the nursery. Children aged 4 and up will attend the service.

Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer and Worship Associate Dani Beale – Last fall Brad Bolton was the highest bidder on the item I submitted for the service auction: the chance to choose a theme for a worship service. Brad gave me a most interesting challenge. I’ll tell you more about the challenge and about how I settled on my theme during the sermon. Here is a hint. If there were room on our outdoor sign for a subtitle it would read “A Theological and Spiritual Reflection on Reproductive Choice.”

Lori Mcgee with Worship Associate Kristofer Sperry – Have you ever wondered what your life’s purpose is? After reading Paulo Coello’s wonderful book, “The Alchemist”, last spring, I was inspired to lead a service which explores ways we can answer this question for ourselves. The answers might be easier to find than you think.
