True To Self The work we do is complicated. Some of us love it. Some of us try to love it. Others of us are secretly waiting to find something else. How can we catch a glimpse of our true self--the one we were meant to be--through the often bureaucratic insanity of our work? (Those of you with perfect jobs and perfect lives are also welcome to join us this morning!) It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now. |

Is George Carlin In Heaven? George Carlin was famous not only for his comedy but also for his lampooning of religion. He died last year, and I am wondering if he, who did not believe in heaven, is in fact stuck there now? |

Music Is My Religion Music is an ethereal and playful Spirit. It gives us such potential to communicate, to hear its voice. So while every human craft we have in our grasp is a gift—every job needed and wanted—it seems music can show us WHY we need and want. Music can reveal the place where our Spirit joins to us, if only to remind us of why we’re all doing what we’re doing. It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now. |

The Educated UU How were you educated as a UU? Our denomination's Sunday Schools have the lowest retention rate of any, yet we are as a group the most highly educated. This is a service that gives us hope not just for our own little ones here at our church but for all of us who want to see our churches-and our faith-grow.

Leadership in the Face of "I Don't Want That" Things we don't want. Sometimes we focus on negative things. We can't help it. How can they help or hurt our vision for the future, though? (Location: Chesapeake Charter School, 20945 Great Mills Road, Lexington Park MD.) |

The Geometry of Unitarianism. How do you define a point? A line? How far does it take to get from A to B? Such elemental questions originally challenged the mathematical field, but they can challenge us now in our daily lives. In religious terms, where are the lines we draw in our faith lives? In our personal lives? How distant is the point where we find hope and religious tolerance? It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now. |

Your Other Self How many sides of you are there? Are you an amalgam of yourself as you have changed over time? Are you just one person now, or do you have the capability of becoming more than you have been? On stage, an actor must become another person, but in reality may be acting out a part of himself perhaps previously hidden. Let's discover all our parts today! New Member Ceremony Today!

The Dating Metaphor I ponder that wonderful time in our lives when we reach out to someone or something. No, this is NOT just in our 20's. We date now. We try out things in our work and in our personal lives that inspire us to keep going, even when we are rejected by what we love. Life is as tough as dating. Get ready for this big metaphor. 'Cause UU's LOVE metaphors... It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now. |
