FEBURARY 5, 2012
Spiritual Practice: Prepping for Life
Rev. Liz Lerner Maclay
We often think of prayer and other forms of spiritual practice as a way to deal with a difficult situation - but it's also a good way to prepare for both the good and the bad in life. A sense of centeredness, of connection or access to the sacred, of peace with ourselves or our circumstances is a strong foundation for encountering all that comes into our path. Even good luck and blessings can rock our world - struggle and hardships certainly can. As we enter the new year, let's look at what we can do to be ready for life and living.

Coming of Age Service
Coming of Age Youth
All year, the youth in our Coming of Age class have wrestled with life's most difficult questions. In this annual service, they share with us the statements of faith they have written as a result of this questioning and questing. With the help of their teachers and mentors, the Coming of Agers have created a beautiful service that is a favorite every year. For the first time, this service will be held as an intergenerational service for children and youth of all ages.

Let’s Say Grace
Rev.Kären RasmussenIn January "Grace" was our worship theme. This month we'll explore "Spiritual Practices" as our theme and there is a good tie in between the two. We’ve all heard the word “grace” and some of us even use it. This service explores what the word means, maybe some buttons it might push in us and how we as UU’s might just embrace the word, grace, and turn to it as a spiritual discipline.

Blessing of the Animals
Rev. Liz Lerner Maclay
It's that time again! Time to bring our furry family members with us to bless them and remind ourselves how they bless us - and how their cousins bless this planet we all share, part of one ultimate family: earth's family. These services are for all ages, and all pets are welcome, just make sure they are appropriately crated, leashed, housebroken, etc. Invite your friends and neighbors to bring their pets too - the more the merrier.
