January 5, 2019 Bridges to Liberation

Worship Leader: Peter Mathews

Worship Associate: Joni Padduck

Psychologists agree that there are a number of voices we share in common within ourselves that can be, to one degree or another, a cause of suffering in our lives. In addition, living with groundlessness or ambiguity can be a challenge for many people, as we so often yearn for solidity, clarity, and safety. Feelings, too, can create the narratives that contribute to suffering. Through metaphor and allegory this talk will address a practice for surviving, if not embracing, our inner feelings and demon voices. As well, this talk hopes to shed some reality regarding the discomfort that we attribute to our feelings and the ill-at-ease we may experience from what we perceive as "groundlessness."

The Song of Songs

Worship Leader: Rev. Carolyn Price

Worship Associate: Peter Mathews

How do we find our center as Unitarian Universalists? What do we do with the concept of evil? Of goodness? Sin? Salvation? As TV shows like the popular The Good Place explore what makes a person good (or not so good), today’s sermon asks what happens when such concepts are not predetermined through doctrine or scripture, but instead come to us as choices, ones made real by how we live our lives.

Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court case that gave a woman the “right” to terminate a pregnancy up until what was called ‘viability” of the fetus. It was decided January 22, 1973.  It is still controversial and may be reversed by the current court.
