supportrj-300x2009:30 a.m. — Adult RE: Reproductive Justice: Expanding Our Social Justice Calling, led by Laurie Bertram Roberts, Sarah Roberts, Kayla Roberts, and Yolanda Walker.

Rooted in our religious history and theological callings, this 6-week series explores reproductive “health,” “rights,” and “justice”; opens awareness of reproductive oppression; offers opportunities to learn about ourselves and each other as sexual and reproductive beings; and equips us to move forward, out into the world, with integrity and vision. This session explores various religious perspectives on life and pregnancy, historic and current attempts to use abortion as population control, and Unitarian Universalist theology of reverence for life.

john-the-revelator-211:00 a.m. – Service: Revelation and Inspiration: The Art of Not Knowing in an Interdependent World, led by Min. Justin McCreary

My oldest questions revolved around one simple idea “How do we know?” Over time I became more and more dissatisfied with the answer. Being a parent didn’t help me find an answer. Over time, I learned responsibility happened even in the absence of preparation, making me question John the Revelator…even while trying to embrace the breath of God. The old Gospel/Blues song asked the question, “Who’s that writing?” That’s one of many questions I’ll be asking on Sunday.

11:00 a.m. – Religious Exploration:

  • Chalice Children (ages 5-8): Wonderful Welcome – Through stories, song, guided play, and arts and crafts, the Chalice Children will explore and share the intangible gifts of welcoming central to Unitarian Universalism such as kindness, love, friendship, hospitality, and fairness.
  • U.U. Kids (ages 9-14): Amazing Grace: Exploring Right and Wrong – Through stories, discussion, and activities, the U.U. Kids will develop their own moral compass to guide them on the path toward becoming empathetic and responsible teenagers and adults.
  • YUUth (ages 15-17): The YUUth class will not meet. All youth are invited to attend the service.
