Sunday – June 11, 2017. “Our Chosen Faith.” One service at 10:20 AM
Rev. Forrest Church, Unitarian Universalist minister, author and theologian (Sept. 23, 1948 to Sept. 24, 2009) stated, “For most of us, our faith did not choose us, we choose it.” Does this statement resonate with you? Did you choose Unitarian Universalism or did Unitarian Universalism choose you? Please join Worship Associate Jeanne Rana, Rev. Sheri and Rev. Jacqueline as we explore some of the choices we have made to be people of faith. In this service we will formally ingather/covenant with new members; curious beings who have chosen Unitarian Universalism as their faith tradition. We will also celebrate a journey of faith that has resulted in retiring our mortgage debt on our historic building and church home. Members, friends and allies come, let us worship and celebrate together. Our children and youth will be with us for the first 20 minutes of our worship service.
Mystics of many faiths teach us all life is a blessing and that we live in a grace-filled cosmos. There is an element of surrender in this understanding of grace. Join Worship Associate and Sufi Jeanne Rana and Rev. Sheri Prud’homme for an exploration of grace, blessing, surrender, and gratitude. Joe Cristofalo will offer music at both services.
This is a Time for All Ages Service.
