Join us at 10:30 on Sunday mornings for inspiring, encouraging, and thought-provoking worship services.
“Mother’s Day Plus”
May 12 – 10:30am
Rev. Jim McKinley
Let us move beyond “unrealistic and
commercialized Mother’s Day, let…us move to celebratingethics of care. Let us honor and acknowledge all those who care for others, whether family or simply fellow human beings. Let us recognize compassion put into the
service of humanity as what takes us simply into the realm of being fully and completely human.” – Omid Safi.
We honor our mothers and celebrate “care and compassion, love and tenderness” however we embody them and make them real.
“Crepuscular Light”
May 19 – 10:30am
Rev. Jim McKinley
Crepuscular describes the light between sundown and night or the same quality of illumination leading into sunrise. This will be my next to last reflection before I retire from the ministry of this congregation. These remaining weeks have a life of their own. Let’s see what reflections appear and ask to be seen in this new light. Bring your thoughts too.
“Rearview Mirror and Forward Drive”
May 26 – 10:30am
Rev. Chris Buice
On Memorial Day weekend we will look backwards in order to facilitate our congregation moving forward; Remembering the ministry of Jim McKinley so that we can imagine a ministry without him. We will ask big picture questions of our congregation “Who are we? Why are we here? What is our purpose?” We will also reflect on how the past helps us answer another question, “What next?” Chris Buice is minister of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church
After the shooting in his church 10 years ago, the UUA asked, “Is there anyone you would like to be here to help?” And he replied, “Jim McKinley.” This Sunday Chris will tell you why he answered that way and why it matters for your congregation’s future.
