Confessions of a Grasshopper
Theme:
Covenant - What Binds Us
Sunday, May 29, 2016
Rev. Silvio Nardoni
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.
May 29 Sermon: Confessions of a Grasshopper
Silvio Nardoni is a former affiliate minister of this congregation. He continues to practice law in Glendale and counts that as part of his ministry. He lives in Silver Lake with his wife, Wanda, and an assortment of feathered and furry friends. His hobbies include watching movies and gardening, where he on occasion can see grasshoppers at their work.

May 22 Sermon: Caught in the Web
What brings you to church and what keeps you here? Come explore what it means to be UU, and stay for our Annual Meeting, where voting members of our congregation will elect our Board of Directors, take action on congregational resolutions about the Black Lives Matter movement and Green Sanctuary status, and adopt a budget for the coming fiscal year. Our services will also feature a special guest from the UU Service Committee, speaking about how Unitarian Universalists are supporting Syrian children and families in the largest refugee movement in Europe since World War II.
