SEPTEMBER

September 29
Climate Justice Sunday
Rev. Barbara, Unitarian Universalist Association & Sunday Service Committee

For the first time, the UUA has prepared extensive resources for a Climate Justice Sunday - a whole weekend, actually, although we’ll be using only the Sunday service portion. Many churches are using these resources for this Sunday, September 29. We’ll be sharing songs, readings, liturgy, and other service components with hundreds of other UU congregations - including a recording of a new anthem written specifically for this event! The Sunday Service Committee will conduct this service, using a climate-themed sermon by Rev. Barbara (who will be in another church that day) has adapted from the UUA material.

OCTOBER

October 6
Rev. Barbara - Priests and Prophets
Religious institutions often serve a priestly function - honoring life passages, providing rituals, encouraging community. There’s also a prophetic function, which does NOTmean foretelling the future! It means wrestling with hard questions and facing our shortcomings - confronting racism,examining situations such as Gaza or Ukraine, facing inequities and difficult places with more than (comfortable) intellectual analysis. Using the work of UU theologian James Luther Adams, we’ll explore what prophetic work asks of us.
