January 1:  “ The Fire of Commitment”


As we gather to celebrate the beginning of another year, many will be making New Year Resolutions. Resolutions in religion, just like in law and politics are more often than not…Non-Binding. In essence they come to mean nothing. Our speaker will strive to stimulate and encourage his listeners to find ways to make authentic commitments.  The service will end with a Burning Bowl Ceremony, which is designed to symbolically help us to seriously release what may hinder us, while encouraging us to embrace what will help us in our growth.
 
Speaker: Ron Skowronski

January 15:  “Spirituality of Travel/ Transylvania Tales
 
Travel can affect us in unexpected ways. What is a pilgrimage  and why do we do it? What calls us to go back to Transylvania every year? Our Unitarian roots go back over 450 years to the Transylvania region. Barbara Walker, Commisioned Lay Minister (CLM) from West Shore UU , in Rocky River Ohio will join us via Zoom to share the stories of West Shore’s journey to their partner church  in Bagyon .Their 22 year relationship with the village and the connections they have built show us the wonders of our collective global spirituality.
 
Speaker: Barbara Walker

 
January 22:  "In the mid bleak winter"
 
Like our UU hymn of the same name, we will explore the offerings of mid winter in weather, spirit and faith

The church's driveway lined with items for the homeless to take.  We couldn't find an agency to help so we decided to do this.  Someone is taking them and we're hoping it will make them more comfortable in our cold snowy climate.
