August 4, 2024: Embracing Differences and Commonalities
The Unitarian Universalist Value of Pluralism encourages us to “embrace our differences and commonalities with Love, curiosity, and respect.” Bobbi Gerlits, one of FUSF’s lay leaders, has been reflecting on this value for the past few months. Her journey toward a better understanding of pluralism has been shaped by the Sunday before Thanksgiving, three libraries, Henry David Thoreau, rules, Norman Rockwell, and a housewarming gift. Come and hear how each of these played a role in Bobbi’s journey these past few months.
August 11, 2024: Winds of Change
Change can be a whirlwind. Some see transformation as an exciting new chapter in life and accept it freely like a breath of fresh air. Others may find change frightening and difficult to embrace. In considering the range of emotions we all experience on this topic, where would you place yourself when you reflect on transformations you’ve made throughout life? How many times have you freely chosen change and how many times has personal change been driven by life’s circumstances? Please join FUSF Lay Leader, Deb Prudhomme in the exploration, reflection, and embrace of the winds of change.
August 18, 2024: An Expression of Love
FUSF Lay leaders, Stirling and Brian Cousins, believe our shared UU Value of Transformation calls on each of us to collectively transform ourselves and to grow spiritually and ethically. In this sermon they will explore how the personal choices we all make enable us to undergo ethical transformation related to our relationship with the interdependent web of life (Value of Interdependence). They will further discuss how transformation applied to the ethics of our personal choices is a full expression of Love.
August 25, 2024: Minister Rev. Bev
FUSF Interim Minister, the Rev. Beverly Waring (Rev. Bev.) is back in the pulpit and looks forward to seeing you.
