The motivation to do good works can vary from faith to faith. Some have suggested that being good for nothing – that is, without a God or Ultimate punishment – is a characteristic of our progressive way of religion. But aren’t we good for something? And how does this shape the way we move through life and the world? Join me on this United Nations Sunday as I explore right relations and ethical living in a shrinking and demanding world.

In recent weeks we have lost too many young lives to fear, shame, and distrust. As a faith community we must respond to our Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender and Queer youth. What does it mean to be a Welcoming Congregation in the midst of this crisis? How does Unitarian Universalism answer to this pain? Join us, Sunday November 7th, as we remember those we’ve lost and covenant with those who still need to be welcomed into our home.

Theodore Parker spoke of the “transient and permanent” in religion. What did he mean? How can our understanding of his words help us to have a more generous spirit?

Recently I was asked what brought me to Unitarian Universalism. Though I was raised in this faith, my upbringing was not the answer. Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? David prevails over his biggest challenger with one smooth stone that he carried with him into battle. I came to Unitarian Universalism by the generosity of our people; the stones I carry with me.

“What the world needs now is” …Generosity! And that fits just perfectly with us because Unitarian Universalism is spiritually and theologically built on the foundation of generosity – actually a conspiracy of generosity. Join John, Kimberly, Fred and “Girls Night Out” as they describe how you can be a member of this conspiracy. After the service there will be an opportunity to learn more and respond.

“The gaps are the thing” wrote Annie Dillard. Pay attention to the gaps because it’s there where you will find opportunities for generosity (this month’s theme). Join me this morning as we set aside some time to explore and reflect on the gaps in our lives.

Our theme this month is unity and this message shares how you and others can unite the “jangling discords” inside and outside of you into a symphony of tranquility and harmony so that mountains in your life can be moved. Don’t miss this service!

Fox news entertainer Glenn Beck has been sharing a very confusing and misinformed understanding of western theology. But this is nothing new – theology changes and we are often running to keep up. In spite of what you may read or hear, there is a unity to theological progress. Where it’s moving is quite different from where UUs have been! Are you ready for a miracle? Join me and let’s see what happens.
