May Worship Theme: What Binds Us
There are names for what binds us:strong forces, weak forces.Look around, you can see them…-- Jane Hirshfield
In our UU faith, we are bound together not by creed or dogma, but by covenant, the sacred promises we make with one another about who we are and how we want to be in community together. We often quote our Seven Principles, yet rarely repeat the concluding lines of the congregational covenant from which they come:
Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising one another our mutual trust and support.
Join Rev. Rebecca and our worship leaders for a month-long exploration of covenant, mutual trust and support, and what binds us to one another, to our living tradition, and to the wider world.
