Sunday Services

Sunday, January 3 – 11 a.m. – Imagination – Amy Day

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality,” Lewis Carroll once said. So, come with us on a journey of imagination. Bypassing, for a moment, the limited confines of the rational mind, we can allow ourselves to consider and even dream about what is possible, not only as mere, isolated individuals, but as a collective, an assemblage of pulsating Imaginal Cells – a whole – in the days and year to come.

Sunday, January 10 – 11 a.m. – The Case for Hope, a Commitment to the Future – Lezley Troxell

In this time of Covid-19, climate change, poverty, disparity and a much-divided world, we find ourselves in a fear-based tender-spirit moment. There is a fragility to hope right now. Yet how do we experience the world, and its future, without holding onto hope? Lezley will explore what it means to hold onto hope, the link between hope and creativity, what our young people hold onto, and what we can do for our future.

Sunday, January 17 – 11 a.m. – Journeying to the Promised Land – Karen Harris, M.Div.

As we stand on the cusp of a new era in our collective story, Karen Harris will speak of mythic and historical journeys through trials and tribulation toward the promise of a new beginning. Since retiring from ministry and teaching religious studies, Karen has been sharing life on her small permaculture farm with friends and fellow seekers of the wisdom of nature.

Sunday, January 24 – 11 a.m. – Dance in the Desert, Bring Your Tambourine – Rev. Erin Walter

The new year starts with renewed energy and purpose, even in a pandemic. Drawing upon Scripture, spiritual practice, and original music, Unitarian Universalist minister, Rev. Erin Walter, will reflect on how to foster joy and gratitude in the midst of our ongoing struggles.

Sunday, January 31 – 11 a.m. – Bret Harte and the Wiyot Massacre – Rev. John Buehrens

Rev. John Buehrens, former Unitarian Universalist president, will talk about the history of the Wiyot massacre and the reporting of the tragedy by Bret Harte, who was encouraged by Starr King to make the whole story public to the United States. Rev. Buehrens will recognize the history of our area and the Wiyots, who were treated so badly.
