This season has, at its heart, a powerful, radical, and transformational message—namely, that each of us is called to bring into being the fierce and unrelenting love that unseats the unjust oppressors and lifts up the humble and the forgotten and marginalized people of the world.

Although we often take what we have for granted, it’s relatively easy to be grateful when things are going our way. How do we go about living a grace-filled and grateful life even when times are hard? Sometimes grit is just as important as gratitude.

In the wake of a brutal election season, how do we go about repairing and healing the wounds that have occurred? What do we need to do to heal our own wounds, and how might we help others heal? And how do we move from healing to organizing for change?

In the wake of this week’s elections, many of us are feeling a deep need to be held in loving community, to acknowledge our grief, and to discern what we are to do next. This week’s service will focus on the concept of sanctuary—as a place of respite from the whirlwind of fear and hatred, as a place of resistance to the dominant culture of greed and bigotry, and as a place of renewal where we might find the strength to work for real and meaningful change in our world.

All Souls Day is a time to remember everyone who has died, everyone who has been part of the gathered community. The phrase “All Souls” has a particularly Unitarian connotation because of something that one of our own “saints,” William Ellery Channing, said: “I am a living member of the great Family of All Souls; and I cannot improve or suffer myself without diffusing good or evil around me through an ever-enlarging sphere.” What does it mean for us to be a community of All Souls?

UU Values: Generosity

Rev. Jim Magaw

Our newly-articulated value of generosity suggests that “our generosity connects us to one another in relationships of interdependence and mutuality.” How can we cultivate this kind of generosity and practice it within and beyond our congregation?
