January 5 Rev. David Weissbard

Humanistic Spirituality

Many people seem to have latched on to the saying, "I am spiritual -- not religious." In my last sermon I quoted the UU Theologian James Luther Adams who suggested "A purely spiritual religion is a purely spurious religion."  "Spiritual" is a word that is defined in many ways.  On January 5th I am going to be addressing what I understand to be "Humanistic Spirituality," which some people suggest is an oxymoron. I will try to make a case for its validity.

 

January 12 – Sarah O’Connell

At this service we're going to be talking about our stories.  What is your life story? What in your past dictates your present?  Can you change or tweak your story for the future?

 

January 19 – Liz James, Founder of UU Hysterical Society. 

What do you do when the life you’d imagined for yourself is stuck in committee? Join us for the story of the UU Hysterical Society... The practical joke that accidentally turned into a 230,000 person UU community on Facebook. It’s a story of feeling lost, finding yourself, and UUism-outside-the-box .

 

January 26 – Kelly Sackheim

At this service, we're going to be talking about our congregation's stories, from the perspective of our past, current, and future members.  How does what we take from the past dictate our present?  Can we change or tweak our story for the future?  As this is the last Sunday before the January 29 new moon that marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Snake, we'll also be looking at how the way that we mark time influences the creation and revising of our Story.
