Buddha: “I Am Awake!”

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Lori Mirkin-McGee.

The Buddha was asked by someone who noticed there was something about him: “What are you?” he replied “I am awake”. What did the Buddha mean? What does it mean to be awake? As the world continues to awaken around us and we continue to emerge from the long winter of COVID, we will reflect on April’s Soul Matters theme of Awakening by examining what Buddhism teaches us about being spiritually awake.

Spirit of Life

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, March 27, 2022 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Lori Mirkin-McGee.

The story behind the creation of the beloved UU hymn “Spirit of Life” is the story of Carolyn McDade’s renewal of faith and how she was inspired to write this song prayer for transformation. Using the hymn Spirit of Life, we will reflect on March’s theme of “Renewing Faith” and this beloved hymn’s powerful invitation to the Spirit of Life to renew us and to help us live out our Unitarian Universalist faith more fully.

We Need a Little Springtime

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman.

The cold, the snow, and the ice have held us in their grip for months.  After a long winter, including a spiritual winter due to the pandemic, we need a little springtime- sunny days, flowers breaking through the soil, trees and grass turning green.  This service will welcome the return of spring with stories, songs, and rituals that invite us to join in the renewal of life and open our hearts to joy once again.

Patrick, Pagans, and No Snakes

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, March 13, 2022

A virtual service led by Elaine Bowen and Worship Associate Lori Mirkin-McGee.

St. Patrick’s Day is yet another misunderstood holy day / holiday with myths, legends and misinformation galore. It has been spectacularly secularized from its origins and has grossly stereotyped Irish culture. Let’s look through a UU lens at this holiday and how we may reframe our “celebration” with respect, dignity and no green beer.
