Services for February

Justice & Equity. Sometimes the idea of justice or equity feels really big, like something no single human being can really grasp. And yet, as UUs, we try to build human relationships that are just, humane, fair. So no matter how big Justice is, or how far Equity may reach, as a practical matter we live these values in a small-scale way: trying every day, in each relationship, in each encounter, to listen better, see more clearly, consider more deeply. Life isn’t one big splash of paint on a billboard. It’s tiny fine-line daily sketches that express cumulatively the way we mean to live.

The Light We Carry

Rev. Jaye Brooks
February 4

In Amanda Gorman's book of poetry, Call Us What We Carry, the poet suggests that we human beings are most appropriately identified by all the events that shape us. One of the theological ideas Unitarian Universalists (and others) often discuss is the light within each of us that we carry out into the world. The Light We Carry is more than a metaphor; it's an expression of who we are. It’s also the theme for this year's Stewardship campaign. So come and be inspired by the light we carry—and which we celebrate in this month when our worship and learning theme is Justice and Equity.

Just Us

Unpacking the Golden Rule

Rev. Jaye Brooks
February 18

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Though this golden rule may be expressed in a variety of ways, it appears in most of the world's religious traditions. In today's global village, its words may need some unpacking if we are to make real its message of love and compassion. Follow Rev. Jaye on a whirlwind tour of places and customs as we consider together how to apply the golden rule in the 21st century (or at least our little slice of it).

The Wisdom of Disability Theology

Beth Wood-Roig, Sara Brinkerhoff, Martina Kuzenski and Rick Lund
February 25

As we practice widening our circles of loving awareness, this morning, we will learn from the wisdom of Disability Theology, which calls us toward living ever more profoundly, inclusively, fully, and joyfully into the limitations, pain, mortality of our embodied existence and that of the earth. We will hear from members of our own congregation as well as voices from the Disability Justice and Theology movements. Join us!
