Sunday, April 12th Service on Zoom  "What Do Our Sources Have to Teach Us About Growth and Transformation?" led by Linda Larson.

Most religions and cultures have some sort of festival around this time of year (or a little earlier, at the Equinox), marking the end of winter and the return of life in spring. In the Christian tradition, this is Holy Week, commemorating Jesus’ time in Jerusalem and his crucifixion, culminating in Easter and the miracle of resurrection. In Judaism, it is the time of Passover--the celebration of the Israelites’ survival of the ten Plagues of Egypt and their release from slavery. These stories are incredibly powerful, though they can be challenging even in the best of times. But now? We may find it difficult to celebrate a return to life when so many are dying; we may not relate to surviving plagues when disease is striking so many around us. Service leader Linda Larson and others will share readings from UU poets and preachers to spark discussion. 

Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/320337887 , Meeting ID: 320 337 887

Schedule:
  • 10:45 Virtual Coffee and Conversation
  • 11:00 Service Begins 
  • 11:00-11:30 Chalice lighting, sharing our covenant, and readings and reflections on the ideas of Easter and Passover and how we may interpret them in light of our current situation. 
  • 11:30 Joys and Concerns followed by discussion of the service topic

The program committee would appreciate your feedback. Are you happy with the format of recent services? Do you have suggestions? Would you prefer that services also be streamed (via Facebook or YouTube, for example)? Would it be helpful to have some portions recorded so you could watch or listen later? Do you need help with the technology? Would you like to contribute to a future service? Please contact Linda Larson or Kathy Parham.

The Program committee continues to be interested in finding ways for us to connect. Please fill out this survey if you would like to be contacted and are willing to reach out to others via Zoom, phone, or email: click here.

Sunday Service Notes - Storyteller Ray Christian Visits for the MLK Jr. Service- January 19, 2020

1/19/2020

 
Picture
Starting with a kids' story (and a story for adults, as well), Dr. Ray Christian vividly described a childhood experience about him, his dog, and a compassionate fellow human who happened to be white in a time when whites and blacks mixed very little. Dr. Christian continued on the theme of overcoming challenges throughout his life and how storytelling has provided him with a platform to share with others. Learn more about Dr. Christian on the ASU website and listen to his podcast.
