Tending the Sacred Fire

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, October 29, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Heidi Sumser.

Richard Silversmith says: “A fire is a symbolic way to bring the light of the Divine into our consciousness, it signifies a call to the senses, and an invitation to be fully present in sharing our testimonies.”  As we welcome new members, we will reflect on our commitment to tend the sacred fire of our community through sharing our gifts, passions and serving others, the work we gather around our fire to do.

Loved for Who You Are

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, October 15, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

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

National Coming Out Day is October 11 and this is Pride weekend in Kent. Is coming out a true act of liberation, or is it a harmful expectation created by society? What if we shifted our thinking from, as David Johns says, “coming out to inviting in”, making space for all of us to share who we are and to affirm, as our First Principles teaches, that we are worthy of being loved for who we are as we are?

Our People, United

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, October 8, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Renee Ruchotzke and Worship Associate Heidi Shaffer Bish.

How do other Unitarian Universalists live their faith? How do we support one another? How do we advance our values in the world, and encourage spiritual growth of our movement? Our Affiliated Community Minister Rev. Renee will share a few stories that answer these questions from 13 years of working for the UUA. Worship Associate Heidi Shaffer Bish will share a story about our congregation’s experience, and our Director of Religious Education Colleen Thoele will share a story about the history of the Seven Principles that may surprise you! Our Transitional Music Director Emily Hall has a musical surprise or two planned as well!

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.
