May 4 — “How Much Is Enough?”

Rev. Linda Hoddy

We live in a culture where more is always assumed to be better. And yet, Lao Tzu said, “The sage does not hoard…There is no misfortune greater than being covetous. Hence in being content, one will always have enough.” I’m interested in applying the concept not just to material goods, but also to spirituality and medical care and money and…. How much do you need to be content?

The Worship Associate is Linda Wilkes.

 

 

 

May 11 — “Loving Without Judgment”

Rev. Linda Hoddy

Unconditional love is often described as one of God’s attributes.

Mothers too! Many traditions say an ability to love without judging is a sign of spiritual maturity. We are making spiritual progress when we can receive others with an open, loving heart. But that can be in tension with what is “right” and “good.” Today we explore the relationship of love and judgment.

Music will be provided by Peter Rawitsch, Nancy Kass, and Alan Bartenhagen. The Worship Associate is Anne Breznau.

 

 

 

May 18 — “From Generation to Generation”

On this Sunday we celebrate the accomplishments of our children, teachers, and volunteers in our religious education program for children. The children will be sharing some of the activities they undertook in learning about UU principles and identity. We will also be acknowledging individuals who have helped out in the RE, Nursery, and Youth Group programs throughout the year.

The service is coordinated by Merle O’Connor, Director of Religious Education, the RE Committee, and the Youth Group. The accompanist is Alan Bartenhagen. The Worship Associate is Vee Abbitt.

 

 

 

May 25 — “In Loving Memory”
