September 3 – “The Picture on Grandmother’s Wall”

by

This message, delivered by our own John R. Johnson, is inspired by Jean Francois Millet’s painting entitled, “The Man With The Hoe,” which depicts a farmer who is obviously wearied by his work in the field.  Though we do not all labor in the fields, all of us do at times grow weary. Our Sunday morning fellowship is an opportunity for us to offer each other a safe place in which to “knit up the raveled sleeve of care.”

August 13: “A Unitarian Universalist Response to the War in Ukraine.”

by

Join us as our own David Edwards speaks on this timely topic. David, a professor emeritus of the U of A, where he taught Russian History, addresses three questions: (1) What is the Unitarian Universalist Association’s stance on war? (2) What are the causes for the Russian “Special Military Operation?” (3) How might we respond? At the end of the service, we re-dedicate the Peace Pole that has stood in silent vigil for many years on our grounds, serving as an internationally-recognized symbol of a continued hope for peace on earth.

August 6 – “Lúnasa”

by

At the start of August, we celebrate the first harvest of the year as part of the Lúnasa or Lammas festival. The plants of spring have withered and left seeds to ensure future crops. Grains are ready to be harvested and the fruits are ripe for picking. We gather to enjoy nature’s bounty and to give thanks for the food on our tables and for the blessings we have received throughout the year so far.
