  • Spirit

    Spirit of Life, come unto me.
    Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
    Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
    Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
    Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
    Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

    (from the song "Spirit of Life" by Carolyn McDade)

  • Service

    Many UU congregations recite the following affirmation:

    "Love is our doctrine, the quest for truth is our sacrament, and service is our prayer."

  • Justice

    The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

    (UU Theologian, Theodore Parker)

  • Love

    love banner

    Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

    (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

In Care

(Rev. Deborah Cayer)

Corner Chair - Feb.

(Ross McKinney)
This month I'm going to use the column to actually report on some issues the Board has addressed. First, it felt wonderful to use early donations to the capital campaign to authorize paying $250,000 towards the balance of our variable rate mortgage. As further donations arrive, the Board will work with the Coordinating Team to triage spending on some deferred maintenance items versus further mortgage payments.

Workshop: Immigrant Voices

Creating a New History through Spoken Word

February 7, 7-9 pm (Fellowship Hall)

Led by Kendall Jones and Paula Cole Jones. Often times we hear about the history of historically marginalized people through the words of the privileged. Understanding demographic change is often told through a story of statics void of emotion and experience. The words of immigrants can shift our perception of history and give way to a new reality.

(Rev. Deborah Cayer)
As 2011 winds to a close, I'm a little amazed at all that's happened within just this one circuit around the sun, things like the Arab spring, the deaths of bin Laden and Kaddafi, and the Japanese tsunami. And also the Occupy Wall Street movement, Gabrielle Gifford's amazing survival and healing, and the discovery of another earthlike planet somewhere in a galaxy far, far away.
