Services for July

Sunday 10:30 - 11:30 am

Imagination. Our learning and worship theme for May is Imagination. This week I’m in a seminar for UU interim ministers, learning all sorts of things that stimulate my imagination and fill my heart. In the opening session, Rev. Dr. Terasa Cooley reminded us that there’s an aspect of listening that is physical—that we receive messages from one another via our physical beings. I’ve been trying to imagine what those messages might be. Some postures may obviously transmit feelings. Other aspects of physicality may be more subtle yet still communicate. A short-form conclusion is that whenever a topic has emotional context, email and even zoom are not good ways to communicate. Imagine that!

Integrity

Rev. Jaye Brooks
July 6

Zoom

During this time of national turmoil, on the weekend we celebrate our nation’s founding, having integrity means having a reaction. Maybe it’s sorrow. Maybe it’s loss. What clarity can we find in this moment? How do we center our own integrity and respond from the center? What will strengthen and calm us spiritually?
