With all the noise and disharmony in the world, let us gather for a Sunday full of of gratitude. We will have a dramatic story, some good music, and a few deeper thoughts on where we are as a community and what’s next – thankfully.
Let us honor imperfections, flaws, quirks, mistakes, foibles, and failures – the cracks that let the light in. We can be better at recognizing the blessings hidden in the broken places of our lives.

With this month’s theme of “Deep Listening,” I wonder about our perception of reality and how our brains are very good at filling in gaps with what we expect the world to be. I’ll share the story of magenta as an example.
What is fascism? What’s Antifa? What is happening to our democratic republic? Let us consider these questions through the lens of our Unitarian Universalist values.

I miss singing hymns with the congregation. Some of my favorite hymns are also prayers which strikes me as an interesting situation for a faith tradition that is a little ambivalent about prayer.
