Sunday Services
Feb 5, Rev. Richard Speck– Executive Director of the Joseph Priestly District (JPD) of UUA.
“The Reality of Abundance”: We have an abundant faith that believes in the essential goodness of humans to do the right things. But we are still called to remind people of their dedication to our religious values as seen in their gifts to the church. Our service will focus on how we can be generous stewards of Unitarian Universalism.
Feb 12, Tony Heilman – “Darwin Day / Celebrating Humanism”
Feb 19, Gary Jackoway – “Natural Theism”
Feb 26, Rev. David Newell –“Understanding Human Dignity”: The notion of human dignity is one that informs many of life’s most important decisions. What is human dignity and why is it important to us? What are the sources of, and threats to, our dignity? Does dignity have a special role to play in health care decisions?
Mar 4, Dr. Gary Schiff: “Bittersweet Homecomings”
A Note about Our Sunday Services: We will now be offering the special opportunity of chalice lighting to adults on three Sundays per month. Volunteers are most welcome – please see Annie Lavin.
