May 3: “Passionately Curious”
Speaker: Rev. Judy Tomlinson
“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” wrote Albert Einstein. To be curious is to explore and discover, to take an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake. These days we are encouraged to “get curious rather than furious”. To ask questions, and learn rather than reacting with judgment, fear, or instant certainty. Curiosity is a character strength among Unitarian Universalists. Let’s dig deep and find out how curiosity benefits our lives.
May 10: “My Expertise Is a Mountain”
Speaker: Chris Berglund
Chris Berglund is a recent UU member but already very passionate about the teachings of morality and positivity. Because his birthday is this week, he gets to choose this day’s topic. And so he has decided to give a sermon about the eruption of Mount St. Helens as it nears the 46th anniversary. Learn about the people who witnessed it firsthand and the impact they left behind.
May 17: "Ministry: Yours, Mine, and Ours"
Speaker: Rev. Judy Tomlinson
In Unitarian Universalism, ministry is not just the job of ordained clergy: it is a shared responsibility. This month I celebrate 25 years of ordained ministry but I have done that in partnership with so many others. Let's explore what ministry is and how we do it together.
May 24: “Free to Be: Keeping Faith in These Difficult Times”
Speaker: Rev. Anne Felton Hines
Many of us are feeling more helpless and more hopeless about the state of our country and the world than we’ve felt in a very long time, maybe ever. How do we protect ourselves from despair? Where do we find the courage to keep resisting the atrocities we are witnessing?
Rev. Anne Felton Hines has served Unitarian Universalist congregations in Southern California since 1984. Upon official retirement in 2014, Emerson UU Church granted her Minister Emerita status. She chairs the San Fernando Valley Chapter of the ACLU, participates in actions to preserve our Democracy, and volunteers weekly as a pianist at Kaiser Medical Center in Woodland Hills.
May 31: "Music+ Sunday: Summer"
Join us as we celebrate Summer in music and verse!
