Sunday Services
December 1: Expressing Gratitude
With Thanksgiving still fresh in our minds, this service centers on how we experience and express gratitude. Four of our members will share their thoughts followed by discussion. Be sure to stay for the “first Sunday potluck” after the service. Presented by Ann Kleinsasser, Lay Leader
December 8: Spiritual Report Cards
How many of us live our lives as if there will be a report card at the end of the term? What would constitute an “A” in your book, spiritually speaking? And does it matter? Oncology chaplain and popular guest speaker, Michael Eselun will explore these questions. Michael Eselun, a two-time TED-X speaker, serves as the chaplain for the Simms/Mann-UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. He has worked extensively in oncology, hospice, palliative care and with acute psychiatric patients. Eselun is a highly regarded keynote speaker who has worked tirelessly as an activist/educator addressing anti-LGBTQ bias and homophobia in the larger community for over 30 years.
December 15: Celebrate What’s Right With the World
Dewitt Jones shares his photography and powerful dialogue to inspire viewers to approach their lives with celebration, confidence, and grace. Approaching our day-to-day lives with an attitude of celebration isn't always easy. Do we choose to see possibilities? Celebrating what's right helps us recognize the possibilities and find solutions for many of the challenges before us. Pre Recorded TedTalk.
December 22: A Christmas Carol: UU-Style
Charles Dickens was influenced by Unitarianism’s progressive theology and emphasis on social reform. Come hear a bit about the man and the message of A Christmas Carol while helping to bring parts of this classic tale of redemption to life. Bring scarves and hats to get into the spirit of a Dickens Christmas. This is our last service of 2024. Presented by Anne Moratto and members.
