UU Annual Holidays and Events: What are they?

Sunday, January 22, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “Personhood”with Rev. Dr. Linda Olson Peebles.  Personhood continues as a moral issue in the fight to uphold Roe vs Wade some 40 years later. And now, a definition of personhood is in recent significant legal actions such as a Supreme Court ruling on corporations and a Mississippi vote on the definition of personhood. We'll explore a liberal religious view on this deeply moral question of what personhood is. Order of Service and Page Two announcements

Sunday, January 29, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “Stumbling on Happiness”with Rev. Scott W. Alexander, Visiting Minister. Rev. Alexander writes, “Over recent years, human happiness has become a popular thing for psychologists and other scientists to study and quantify. Seeing happiness is something we all want, we ignore these findings at our peril. Said differently, it  behooves us to listen to what the  scientists are telling us about happiness, for that knowledge may help us to discover more of it in the everyday fabric of our lives.” Order of Service and Page Two announcements

Big Question Sunday, Feb. 5, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “A Big Question: Can Religion Save Us?” with Rev. Michael McGee. “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another,” wrote Jonathan Swift.  How can we change that equation so that we have enough religion to save us and our world?

UUA Sun., Feb. 12, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “Beyond Belief” with Rev. Peter Morales. We are honored to have Rev. Morales, the president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, as our speaker.  He will share with us his vision of our movement and his hopes for our future.

Mardi Gras Sunday, Feb. 19, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “When the Saints Come Marchin' In” with Rev. Michael McGee. “Jazz does not belong to one race or culture, but is a gift that America has given the world,” wrote Ahmad Alaadeen.  Jazz will fill our sanctuary as we celebrate the indomitable spirit of New Orleans and the music that has filled its streets and our hearts for so long.

Sun., Feb. 26, 9:15 & 11:15 a.m. “Their Eyes Were Watching God” with Rev. Carlton Elliott Smith. This year is the 75th anniversary of the publication of Zora Neale Hurston's classic Harlem Renaissance novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. The book chronicles the story of a African American woman in the rural South of the early 20th century as she learns to love and accept life on its own terms. During African American History Month and after Valentine's Day, we will consider the choices and sacrifices we make to fulfill our destinies, and the faith that requires.

CDs of Sunday Services and Videos: CDs of the services are available in the library for check-out in addition to videos of other church events. The library is just down the hall from the Sanctuary, across from the coat room. You’ll find CDs in front of the window; to sign one out, just follow the easy instructions.
