Sunday Services

Sunday, November 7 – 11 a.m. – Really? I Never KnUU That – Rev. Peter Farriday

Courageous, compassionate characters people Unitarian Universalism’s inception and development as a progressive faith tradition. As part of November’s “Holding History” theme, this service will explore inspiring accounts of those who helped make UU-ism a tradition of inclusiveness, equality and comprehensive kindness.

Sunday, November 14 – 11 a.m. – Climate Crisis – John Schaefer

HUUF member John Schaefer will discuss how we can decide which big-picture climate crisis actions and policies to press for. He will talk about the proposed solutions and how to evaluate our options using MIT’s En-Roads online program. He will also delve into political action and into conquering despair.

To demonstrate the use of En-Roads, the service will be held indoors, and attendees, including those on Zoom, can ask about the projected effect of specific options on future global temperatures. In-person attendance will be limited and is by reservation only.

Sunday, November 21 – 11 a.m. – Practicing Thanksgiving – Rev. Peter Farriday

As Thanksgiving nears, this service will consider ideas and practices that help us live with constant gratitude. Rev. Farriday will also discuss the observance of Native American Heritage Day on Nov. 26. This day includes thankfulness for all those who are correcting distorted history and restoring native wisdom.

Sunday, November 18 – 11 a.m. – Holding History – Amy Day

What does it mean to “hold colonial history in the body,” to actively confront the trauma of the past, release it, repair it, and create new possibilities for another narrative to emerge? How do we do this? In this intergenerational service, we will explore ways to process the stories of our collective past through movement, ritual and reckoning. In reconciling our past, a better future can emerge.
