A Retreat with Pema Chodron

Rev. Peg Morgan

This past nine months our congregation’s spiritual study group has been attending, via DVDs, a retreat with Pema Chodron, Buddhist teacher/nun of Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia. Today Rev. Peg will share some of the teachings that our group has found most helpful in deepening our spiritual lives, both in our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with others.  Today’s sermon will be one of a series of sermons based upon this Buddhist retreat and will focus on the spiritual practice of nurturing our natural goodness, starting where we are, and observing what is happening when our hearts close down.

Combating Apathy: Everything I Needed to Know about Changing the World I Learned from Superman

Marcus Green, author, speaker, and friend of our Congregation

July 21, 2013

Another high-profile “Superman” movie is due out this summer. Marcus will comment on the idea of a world not changed by an extraordinary man or woman but by ordinary men and woman with a willingness to do the extraordinary. The real life heroes we often admire, King, Tubman, Gandhi, Milk and others, possessed the same raw ingredients that all of us possess if we so choose to use them.

Under the Unitarian Universalist Umbrella

Rev. Peg Morgan and three members

July 14, 2013

Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal faith which allows us the freedom to search for truth on many paths .Unitarian Universalists discern our own beliefs about spiritual, ethical, and theological issues under an umbrella of shared principles. We draw inspiration from Atheism, Agnosticism, Buddhism, Christianity, Humanism, Judaism, Earth Centered Spirituality, other religious or philosophical traditions, as well as from science.

This sharing service will be led by Rev. Peg Morgan, and will offer theological or spiritual perspectives of three of our members: Steve Burrows, Atheism, Cecelia Hayes, Earth Centered Spirituality, and Keo Capestany, Agnosticism.
