UUMAN Unitarian Universalist Metro Atlanta North Church

Our memories are integrated with sensations of the experience: sights, smells, tastes, touch... and sounds. Our lay leader David Kroebel focuses this service on how the music we listen to creates a distinct time capsule for what is going on in one's life at the moment. In David's case, with the help of "mail-order music clubs (remember those?"), then cassette copying, and then ripping and duplicating, into the digital streaming world and intensely curated Spotify playlists. Each time, though, creating an individual time capsule appropriate for every existential crisis that might arise, every critical life event. Recalling and recollecting those memories.
Also: Guided meditation, speculation on what an hour of the Hand of Friendship might be like, and other stray ritualistic spoken bits that keep the ol' Service And More Album soundtrack a-rollin' along.

Yes, in the "story for all ages", she did all the work. But in our real lives, do we want to eat alone, while others have nothing to eat?

You kinda had to be there. It's very omnidirectional microphonage audio, not the greatest (possibly the worst) quality of this podcast series. However, it does feature Dave Dunn's original harmonica stylings, highlights from several past services as read and interpreted by a cast of several, and the best efforts of Audacity's "noise reduction" effect to make it tolerable in your ears.
We'll be back inside the Sanctuary next week with audio from the usual YouTube sources, rather than yr humble podcaster's fifty-dollar phone.

"An emergent entity, created out of chaotic, complex interactions within particles, can exert a causal force downward on the components themselves." Got that? No? Maybe you'll need to listen to the rest and then you'll understand. Maybe.

"Mother's Day is not easy, no matter who you are or what your circumstances are." But today's guest speaker Randy Blasch tries to sort it out for us. Along with the sermon, there are announcements, original music selections, and perhaps the most all-inclusive benediction you'll hear all year, courtesy of worship associate Sasha Greyenbuhl.

These rites of passage include a children dedication ceremony, individual faith statements, props to the Our Whole Lives (OWL) program, and the annual bridging ceremony, from the care of our Religious Exploration team into young adulthood. Also, it may or may not be dusty in here, nor are we crying, it's likely you're crying.  Choir direction and piano accompaniment by Alex Pietsch. "In My Bones" by Alex Pietsch.

#UUMAN

For today's service, hear a Universalist parable about a loving father, a drunken son, and a flaming pit. And learn how the term "Unitarian" was deployed as an insult at heretical thinkers, some of whom died for their beliefs. That is, until on May 5, 1819, when Rev. William Ellery Channing, the leader of the liberal Congregationalists split with the conservative Congregationalists, planted a stake in the ground, raised a flag, and declared "we ARE Unitarians." Along with the usual announcements, and spoken and musical merriment.

Join UUMAN's Earth Ministry, and our guest speaker, Georgia Interfaith Power and Light's Rosaleen Xiong, in a recognition of the upcoming Earth Day. This lay led service, features some splendid comedy (wait for it!) and the literally deadly serious naming of names among various US Presidents who have been either halfway-decent on the environment, and, well, pretty horrible. Of the latter, it should surprise nobody to learn that the worst offender's name rhymes with "Schmonald Schmeagan."

You'll also learn about the power of reaching outside the circle. And hear a flute calling you. Choir direction by Alex Pietsch. Musical interludes composed by Alex Pietsch, Copyright 2023. All Rights Reserved.

Along with the 100th anniversary of the original Flower Communion by Unitarian martyr Norbert Capek, this week's service features a re-dedication of a sacred space. Beautiful (and sonically boom-y) UUMAN Sanctuary is open for activities again.
