Upcoming Worship Services

Pentecost
-(Sunday, 3 June 2012 - 10:30am) Barbara Clark

Today is the Eastern Orthodox Pentecost. For believers, Pentecost is more than a commemoration of the Holy Spirit descending upon the apostles of Jesus two millennia ago and a milestone marking the formal beginning of a church. It is something that continues in the present for individuals. We reflect on the meaning and presence of the Holy Spirit in the world today and the sense of self and the world view suggested by Pentecost.

Al-Ghazali - Timeless Insights
-(Sunday, 10 June 2012 - 10:30am) James Gibbons Walker

Nine hundred years ago, in response to a crisis of faith at mid-life, Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali “the greatest Muslim after Muhammad” combined orthodoxy and mysticism in a manner that resonates with current principles of spiritual direction. His writings, Deliverance from Error, The Beginning of Guidance, and The Alchemy of Happiness, provide a description of his crisis as well as the insights gained from his spiritual struggle, both of which are relevant today.

Wheel of the Year: Flower Communion
-(Sunday, 17 June 2012 - 10:30am) New Moon Rising

In this UU tradition started by Nobert Capek in 1923, everyone is invited to bring a flower to our annual Flower Communion. We honor the diversity of each individual and the beauty created by our common "bouquet."

They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.
