April 21: "Universalism, Zen, and Easter Mysteries"
Speaker: Reverend James Ishmael Ford Because of our history as Unitarian Universalists, Christmas is an easy holiday. Easter, for the very same reasons, can be difficult. James will address the universal human celebration of spring and its unique cultural and spiritual manifestations within our Western cultures. Spoiler alert: He likes Easter.
Worship Associate: Stephen Lopez
Board Member in Charge: Janell Mort
April 28: "LISTEN"
Speaker: John Bloom-Ramirez
There is a part of the resurrection story that is often glossed over: the witness of it by Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was doubted by all of the apostles, even with Levi standing up for her. Like the women of “me, too” movement, Mary was dismissed, doubted and debated until Paul claimed to see the same thing.
Worship Associate: Katie Bodnar
Board Member in Charge: Judy Demesse
Save the date - May 19!
The Spring congregational meeting will be held after the service and lunch.
