Our next Shared Ministries Council meeting will take place on February 23, 2025 in Hobbs Hall after the 11:00am Service!
We hope that each committee will send at least one representative to this meeting. As we look forward with Rev. Kristina, we want your voice to be heard.
We will have a potluck lunch, so please bring a dish to share if you are able. CoSM will also gratefully accept setup/clean up help.
See you there! Lori, Jennifer, Rhonda, Shana, and Rev. Kristina Committee on Shared Ministry
Would you like to honor an anniversary or milestone, or just add a little beauty to our Sunday Worship Service? Consider providing a vase of flowers for the chancel — from your garden or from a florist!
We have a selection of vases next to the sink on the south wall of the Fessenden Hall kitchen that you can use.
Please arrive with the flowers at least 20 minutes before the service. You are welcome to mention the anniversary or milestone on a “Joys and Sorrows” card to be read during the service.
As we move into the next presidential chapter of the American story, let’s ground ourselves in our UU values of Justice and Equity. We’ve said that every human being has inherent worthiness and dignity. We have declared that every person has the right to flourish. How do we work to bring this about?
9:15 AM: An In-Person, All-Ages Service
Led by Rev. Kristina and DRE Colleen Thoele.
10:00 AM: Lifespan Religious Exploration
Religious exploration for our children and youth in classrooms.
This is an opportunity for members, friends, and visitors to reflect and share on wondering questions based on the day’s sermon topic. Everyone (including first-time visitors) is welcome to drop in and join us in Hobbs Hall for this small group connection time.
This Week’s Wondering Questions:
Our UU Values commit us to dismantle racism and other oppressions, and to work towards the Beloved Community where all people can thrive. What’s one thing you would like to do, learn, or contribute to this year to live into our value of Justice?
Each of us has some identities that lend us privilege–through our racial, cultural, educational, economic, gender, sexual orientation, or health status. And some of us have identities that can marginalize us, or even put us in danger. What’s one identity you hold that could help you protect others? What’s one way you might speak up or act up on behalf of the vulnerable in the coming days?
