Sunday, October 6th: Listen to the Voices
Today we contemplate Listening. How can we listen - and hear - other people, the sounds of nature, and the "still and small" voice within? Coordinator: Martha Larson.
Sunday, October 13th: Half of All Communication
Our ministry theme for October is deep listening. Rev. Josh will continue our exploration of this theme. Even in this era of polarization, listening isn’t impossible. It is quite possible. It is, in fact, essential. Special Guest Musician: Jenn Richard. Coordinator: Rev. Josh Pawelek.
Sunday, October 20th: Ageism
This is the third in a series of services on aging. This service, “Ageism," will address the issues of age bias and discrimination. The first service was the “Spirit of Aging” and the second service was “Aging – What’s Next?" Coordinators: Nancy Madar and Sandy Johnson.
Sunday, October 27th: Ancestor Day
All congregation worship! In keeping with the season, everyone is encouraged to come in costume. Bring a memento of a deceased loved-one or ancestor to place on our ‘altar of remembrance.’ What lesson do you take from their life? Together we will share the ongoing power of our ancestors’ lives in our collective life. Coordinators: Mary Bopp, Emmy Galbraith, Rev. Josh Pawelek.
Sundays, November 3rd and 10th: Election Day I and II
Tuesday, November 5th is a big day for the United States of America. On the Sundays surrounding the election, Rev. Josh will address what’s at stake in this election. What’s at stake for us as UUs and liberal religious people? What’s at stake for our communities? What’s at stake for country? Our November ministry theme is repair. Rev. Josh sincerely hopes these services can focus on repair, but so much remains unknown. And there is so much at stake. Coordinator: Rev. Josh Pawelek.
