The Power of Covenant

The Power of Covenant

October 24, 2021

In religious community to guide our time together we rely on Covenants not Contracts. Contracts are made for a limited period of time, involve the specific actions of offer and acceptance, and are intended to protect the interest of the parties. Covenants, however, are open-ended and are intended primarily to protect relationships by establishing processes for the peaceful resolution of differences or conflicts. Covenant manage, maintain and nurture relationships.

Women Mystic Justice Warriors

Women Mystic Justice Warriors

October 17, 2021

Today’s service, “The Beloved Divine: Women Mystic Justice Warriors”, invites us to explore women mystics through the ages, looking closely at what they wrote, what they did, and what people said about them. In this investigation we will discover how even the best work of female mystics was often co-opted by men for agendas that were often less than holy. We will also see that many of these women were warriors for a greater justice, singing songs the people of their age too seldom embraced, despite the championing of truth and service their lives embodied.

Make a Joyful Noise

Make a Joyful Noise

October 10, 2021

“Make a Joyful Noise.” Throughout this pandemic people the world round have been called to manifest hope and healing through impactful noise - whether by singing from their balconies or beeping their horns at 5pm to honor healthcare workers. Noise is too often seen as a negative, a hindrance, a warning. Our service invites us to counter these negatives with positive and vocal adulation!
This service is led by Rev Anya Sammler-Michael. Nina Cooke-John serves as Liturgist; Jill Wodnick introduces our Outreach Offering Recipient; UUCM Pres. Elect Shannon Gattens brings a message from the Board.
Music is provided by Dir of Music Ministries Markus Grae-Hauck on piano and vocals; Glenn Rombough on elec. guitar and vox; Rev Scott on drums; and featuring Kate Conroy as songleader, and lead vocals on today’s anthem.
The service starts with an Opening Loop that lasts ~4 1/2 minutes.
