Month: November 2023

We Bless this Space

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, December 3, 2023 at 10 AM in the Church Sanctuary.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman with Worship Associate Randy Bish.

Our historic sanctuary is sacred for many of us, a place that not only invites a deep spiritual experience, but holds beloved memories. As we return to worship in our renovated sanctuary, we will rededicate and bless this space with music, stories, and rituals, honor the memory of those who have cared for and cherished this space, and renew our commitment to making this a true sanctuary for all of us.

An Open Heart

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, November 26, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

A multi-platform service led by CLM Kathy Kerns and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen.

Our Unitarian Universalist principles call us to promote compassion in human relations and to engage in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. What does it mean to show compassion? Are we to show compassion for everyone? How can we, as a faith community, help one another in our journey to be our best, most compassionate selves?

Gratitude on the Go

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, November 19, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman with DRE Colleen Thoele.

Ann Lamott writes: “Gratitude begins in our hearts and then becomes behavior…. We mysteriously find ourselves willing to pick up litter in the street, or let others go first in traffic….” On this Sunday together as a community of all ages, we will celebrate Thanksgiving by telling stories and singing songs that invite us to be grateful for all we have and to practice “gratitude on the go”, living a life of active gratitude.

Listen to the Spirits Dancing

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, November 12, 2023 at 10 AM.

The poet Joy Harjo, a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma, writes: “They were dancing as if they were here, and then another level of here, and then another, until the whole earth and sky was dancing.” 

 November is National Native American Heritage Month.  With stories, poetry, and music, we will honor the indigenous peoples of this country and celebrate their culture, traditions, history, and contributions to our world.
