February Services Theme: LOVE

(All Services begin at 10:30 am unless otherwise noted)

Date: February 2, 2025

Topic:  When is Black Future Month?

Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus

We begin Black History Month by examining the cultural touchstone of Afrofuturism, which posits the simple assertion that black people exist in the future. What can we learn from this movement and what is our role in imagining this future for all people?

Date: February 9, 2025

Due to adverse weather conditions, this service will be on Zoom only.

Topic: Hope, Faith, and Persistence in a Bleak Time

Speaker: Rev. Mike Franch

Anyone feeling discouraged and maybe even a little frightened by the current political and social situation? The origin of this sermon goes back to January 2017, when we were inaugurating a new President. How should we react to this horrible situation? And here we are again! The Christian Testament talks about faith, hope, and charity. I’m substituting persistence. We need all three of these things, and especially we need to persist.

Topic: What Wondrous Love

Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus

What does it mean to put love at the center in Unitarian Universalism? We will try to answer this question through an exploration of a beloved hymn.

Date: February 23, 2025

Topic: Shadows and Light

Speaker: Rev Anthony Jenkins

In the spirit of Groundhog Day, Chaplain Anthony Jenkins will lead a service centered in rude awakenings. Together we’ll explore the ways in which the light of spiritual growth depends upon intermittent (and often involuntary) ‘winter’ seasons of shadow work.
