To Come Round Right

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, September 24, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen.

Hymn #16, “Tis a Gift to Be Simple” says that “till by turning we come round right.”  What does it mean to come round right?  On this Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we will reflect on the Jewish yearly ritual of naming failures and mistakes and then seeking to make right the harm that has been done to others as a practice that can help us grow spiritually.

To Build the Common Good

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, September 10, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate David Weaver.

If we truly believe in the power of Unitarian Universalism to transform and heal our world and build the beloved community, it’s important to begin the process of transformation in our congregation.  As we gather together once again after our summer adventures, we will reflect on what being in community and in covenant means and how our covenant of right relations asks of us in order to be welcoming and inclusive.

Guest House

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, September 3, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

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

The poet Rumi said: “This being human is a guest house; Every morning a new arrival.”  Rumi is talking about our emotions and inviting us to experience them fully because they teach us about being human and working through them is how we heal and become whole.  On this Labor Day, with music, meditation, and words from the poets, we will do the spiritual work together of sitting with our emotions, welcoming them, and learning from them.

Faithfully Becoming: But What Exactly?                

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, August 13, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen.

The theme of this year’s General Assembly, the Unitarian Universalist Association’s annual gathering for business, worship, and connection, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in June, was “Faithfully Becoming”.  But who or what exactly are we as a faith movement and as congregations becoming?  Rev. Steven will share highlights, experiences, and learning from General Assembly and invite us to reflect on how Unitarian Universalism is changing and who we are becoming.
