Journey to Recovery

Rev. Barbara Morgan

August 19, 2012

Rev. Morgan is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister, and a member of this congregation. She writes “Both of my parents died in their early fifties. When I celebrated my fiftieth birthday I found myself living in the eddy of their lives. I wanted to live longer, not swept into the depths of their swirl. With the help of two other Unitarian Universalists and the God of my understanding, I began to swim away from certain death and toward all the promises of life.”

What Does it Mean to Be Authentic?

Rev. Peg Morgan

August 12, 2012

One of the definitions of authentic is “not false or copied”. If our lives are authentic, not copied, then we have to have entered into a journey of getting to know ourselves and deciding to let the world see what we find. We will draw upon the work of poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo.

What Marriage Equality Means to Me

Don Wahl, Tami Ohoyo, & Alan Mendel
August 5, 2012

We can diffuse the fear and concern in some people’s minds about extending marriage rights to same-sex couples through telling our personal stories about why marriage equality matters to each of us. Life stories help people connect, identify and empathize with one another. In this service, straight, lesbian, and gay congregational members will share stories that can spark us to action in support of marriage equality in our state. Mark Newton Service Leader
