Pianist Joe Pepper will be the August musician. He'll play our beautifully sonorous, newly-acquired piano for Sunday services and be on hand with music for the Open Houses.
August 1, "Birdology, Take Two"
In 2007, Rev. Elaine coined a word, "Birdology" (def. the practice of perceiving the divinity of creation through paying attention to birds) and preached a sermon about it. Nature writer Sy Montgomery attended the service, became enamored with the word, and entitled her new book "Birdology." Elaine reprises her "Birdology" service in the light of Sy's birdological insights.
August 8, "Acceptance: Our Key Determination Regarding Life"
Do we or don't we? Reality cares not which, but the joy of life depends on our answer. First UU Society member Ken Swearingen shares his reflections.
August 15, "Wild Fruits: Thoreau's Last Manuscript"
"In wildness is the preservation of the world," wrote Henry David Thoreau. In Wild Fruits, his rediscovered last manuscript published in 2000, Thoreau set out to fulfill the task he considered his life's work: "...to watch for, describe, all the divine features which I detect in Nature." UU Keith Penniman, who holds a Master's degree in Theological Studies from Boston University, reads selections from Wild Fruits and reflects on Thoreau's conservationist message.
August 22 & August 29, “Open House”
Join us for a free-flowing morning for inquirers and newcomers, members and long time friends. An informal discussion of Unitarian Universalist Principles and Sources, a tour of the historic meetinghouse, music and meditation, refreshments and conversation in the Parlors. Do you have a friend who could be a “UU but doesn’t know it”? Bring them with you! Hosted by Rev. Elaine Bomford, Martha Dallas, Director of Religious Education, and FUUSB members.
