Nature Journaling with Dorothy Steinicke - Zoom/Online

Come and join us in observing, learning about, and enjoying
nature.  Whether you are spending your days mostly outdoors or not
stepping out your front door you can still enjoy and appreciate nature.  This
session will focus on seedpods and fruits, the containers of life and the
future.  We’ll do a little botany and we’ll do some drawing and writing.  You
are welcome to join even if you have no knowledge of nature, botany,
drawing or writing, in fact you are encouraged to join.  People who attend
these groups remark that they are reminded of times in childhood when they
had the time to get lost in wonder at the natural world. As adults, we rarely
give ourselves that permission.
 
A lifelong lover of the outdoors, Dorothy Steinicke has more than twenty
years experience encouraging people to a love of the natural world. She
leads hikes for children and for adults in Topanga Canyon, Ballona
Wetlands, and Dockweiller State Beach.

Yamim Nora’im: The Days of Awe (Online Service)

Sunday, September 27, 2020 - 10:00am
Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae
Worship Associate: 
Natalie Kahn
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have arrived on the cycle of the Hebrew calendar, and we explore this sacred time of taking inventory of our lives and making amends to refresh our souls and renew the world.  Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides.  We live out these within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience.

The Masks We Wear (Online Service)

As the popular saying goes: “I can’t believe it’s September — it literally feels like it was March just sixteen years ago!”  Developmental ministry in the midst of a pandemic offers many unique challenges and opportunities for congregations.  Join us as we explore developmental ministry in this new context, in the new church year.

Ingathering Water Communion (Intergenerational Online Service)

Sunday, September 13, 2020 - 10:00am
Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae
Worship Associate: 
Kikanza Nuri-Robins and Aubrey Sassoon
Join us for our annual ingathering service to celebrate the new church year! Rev. Jeremiah returns to the pulpit and we honor our water communion ceremony this year from the safety of our homes.
 
You are invited to email Jeremiah and Saunder hopes, inspirations, and blessings for the new year — either as a video with water being poured into a bowl or as text to be read during the ceremony.  We need these videos by Tuesday evening (September 8th) to hopefully include them in the service.  Please be sure to record in a quiet and well-lit space with HD (720p) if possible.
