Singing and Celebrating Our Living Tradition

We sing our living tradition this morning by taking a closer look at the hymns in our hymnbook, learning about them musically, historically and spiritually. And we celebrate our living tradition by welcoming the new members who have joined us in the past few months. Music Special hymn service exploring our UU musical heritage, featuring our choir

Singing and Serving

What does worship have to do with compassion? And what does love have to do with justice? Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist perspectives provide valuable insights into the relationship between faith and works. Music Lisa Graham, voice (last day!)

Six Perfect Minutes

Our pulpit guest writes, Much as May Sarton says that happiness is not a continuous state but a collection of moments, spiritual living is not a state of being but a readiness to be spiritual when the time is ripe. Sometimes it can last a long time, even six minutes. Fred Wooden is the senior minister of the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, NY.

If Life is one trauma after another, how do we heal? As a species we are very resilient, always adapting to a changing environment. We can see this when we take a long view, but when we are in it, we can easily feel overwhelmed. The truth is that everyone has a sack of rocks. Sometimes, we carry our sack of wounds and worries alone, sometimes we have someone to help us carry it, sometimes we just leave it by the side of the road so that we can use both hands for wiping our tears. Most of the time, we ultimately carry on.
 
How do you do it? Resilience. Kintsugi is a Japanese art form of repairing pottery with gold. The pottery is made functional again, and the cracks and breaks are highly visible, shining with the gold that seals them.  Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”) is also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, “golden repair”). What keeps you going? What helps you move through the pain and disappointments of life? What is your metaphor for resilience?
