Idleness as a Spiritual Practice

Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by CLM Kathy Kerns and Worship Associate Heidi Shaffer Bish.

Our culture is often very focused on time, with busyness often treated as a valued state of being. By contrast, Italians practice “Dolce Far Niente”, the sweetness of doing nothing, and spiritual practices like honoring the Sabbath are designed to help us slow down to have the time and space to connect with our values and to the people and the world around us. This service explores the wisdom and benefits of adopting idleness, or as the sweetness of doing nothing, as a spiritual practice.

Every Day is Earth Day

Sunday, April 24, 2022 at 11 AM

A multi-platform service led by Director of Religious Education Colleen Thoele and our UUCK Children and Youth.

DUE TO A POWER OUTAGE, THE SUNDAY SERVICE IS DELAYED AND WILL BEGIN AT 11 AM.

Our Unitarian Universalist principles affirm that, from fruit flies to giant sequoia trees, all life is interwoven and interconnected. That interdependence moves us to a sense of awe and invites us to care for the life that moves among us. Today as a community of all generations, we will celebrate the web of life and recommit ourselves to the care and keeping of our precious Earth home.

Oh Day of Joy and Gladness

Sunday, April 17, 2022 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Kathy Kerns.

Spring is a season of rejoicing as life triumphs once again. It is also a time of many religious holidays that invite us to reflect on life’s power to renew itself. With a special spring character to lead us on an adventure of discovery, we will learn about Easter, a story of life overcoming death; Passover, the story of a people who arose and journeyed to freedom; and other celebrations of this joyful time of the year.

Wake, Now, My Senses

Sunday, April 10, 2022 at 10 AM.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Kathy Kerns.

Hymn #298, Wake Now My Senses, set to the old Irish folk tune “Slane,” is a hymn that captures the essence of Unitarian Universalism. Some of the Seven Principles are even woven throughout the lyrics. Through singing and a series of readings and reflections we will explore how this hymn invites us to awaken and hear our call to work for justice, practice compassion, and discover our connections with all of life. During this service we will also commission Kathy Kerns as a Commissioned Lay Minister.
