A Retreat with Pema Chodron

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.

Good News for Mothers Day
Rev. Peg Morgan
Let’s begin this Mother’s Day by hearing some feel good stories…Our disposition is largely determined by where we set our gaze. So let’s set our gaze today on good news. It’s really tempting for Unitarian Universalists to gaze at what is wrong because we want to fix it. But our strength has to begin from a foundation of joy brought about from good news stories. If you have a story for me to consider including, let me know!

Rev. Peg Morgan
May 19, 2013
Albert Einstein can teach us much about relying on our intuition and about the evolution of religious thought and sentiment. He was in many ways, a disguised theologian.

Science and Spirituality
Rev. Peg Morgan
April 14, 2013
Spirituality and science only clash when religion becomes rigid and dogmatic. They do not compete, but how are they interdependent? How do we integrate the two in our lives?

Looking for a Home
Rev. David Maynard
March 17, 2013
Whether it's the core of a desire for freedom or the core of a religious faith, looking for a place to be "home" is essential. I will consider what we look for in a home. While home is certainly where the heart is, in every land and culture, home is so much more.
