So Much More . . .

We kick off our annual pledge drive with Terry Sweetser, Senior Advisor to the President of the Unitarian Universalist Association. He writes, We often say, 'Things aren't what they seem,' and conclude the sentence with 'they are so much less.' The teachings of both our Unitarian and Universalist forebears are exactly the opposite. In fact, to live the lives we wish we could, our faith challenges us to find the fullness in the wonder of life. To celebrate your wonderful congregation a service that urges us to imagine that things aren't just what they seem, they are so much more. Music Sara Andon, flute

You'll also find official greeters there, and several volunteers wearing "Ask Me" buttons, who can answer all your questions about our church.

Social Justice as a Spiritual Practice"

When Martin Luther King described the task of the civil rights movement as the challenge to hew a stone of hope out of a mountain of despair, his rhetorical genius spoke not only to the magnitude of the undertaking but also to the spiritual dimension in which hope would appear in the midst of (indeed, be made out of the same stuff as) despair. The most effective movements for social justice require not only organizational skills and techniques, but a solid grounding in a religious understanding of the source of power for change. There?s more to social action than clipboards, banners and mailing lists.
