Sunday, April 6, 2025, 11 a.m. — Service: Inciting Joy, Rev. Diana Davies
These days, the burden of progressive engagement, of building active hope, can feel very heavy. There is so much important, even life-saving, work to be done that making time for joy can feel like a selfish indulgence. And yet, poets remind us that joy is an act of resistance. How can we learn – or remember – to practice joy in our daily lives? Not just passive, comfortable happiness, but intentional, exuberant JOY?
Sunday, April 13, 2025, 11 a.m. — Sharing Circle: What’s Your Superpower?
Wonder Woman has her Lasso of Truth. Superman can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Batman is rich. Bill Gates can build teams. Jane Fonda uses her fame to advocate for social change. What personal strengths do you rely on when you face a big challenge or when the going gets tough?
Sunday, April 20, 2025, 11 a.m. — Service: Walking Each Other Home: An Easter Story, Rev. Diana Davies
For many Unitarian Universalists — especially those of us who still bear spiritual wounds from our childhood faith — Easter can be an especially difficult holiday. But within the Christian scripture, there is an Easter story that is healing and very human. A story about resurrection that isn’t supernatural at all. It’s a story about how, in the words of Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
