Universalist Unitarian Church of Farmington
Seek Answers Everywhere, Include Everyone, Live With Compassion
The first line of UUCF's mission statement is "We Seek Answers Everywhere." If we truly live that statement, where are we seeking and how do we determine the answers we follow? Our UU faith is pluralistic, meaning we draw inspiration from many faith traditions. But in our search for meaning, what does it mean to seek and live answers? You are invited to come and explore these questions together.
Did you know that March 15 is national "Everything You Think is Wrong Day"? No? Neither did we but we're practicing being open to the possibility that we were wrong about our previous ideas. This multigen Sunday Service will have opportunities to explore times when we realized we were wrong about something or someone. Practicing having a growth mindset helps us open our heart to transformation. Come, learn in community.
This Service Sunday, we will work together to pack whistle kits for distribution to our immigrant neighbors.
Join us this Sunday as we launch our annual stewardship campaign: 'Weaving Our Future Together.' In this Sunday Service, we’ll explore the unique threads each of us contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our beloved community. Please stay for a complimentary lunch following the Service!
Loss and grief touch our lives in myriad ways, yet many of us feel unsure how to respond when they show up in our communities. This sermon reflects on what it means to be a grief-literate community and invites us to grow our capacity to accompany one another through loss with honesty, humility, and love.
This interactive multigenerational Sunday Service will have opportunities for creating, connecting and practicing resilience in community. Through crafting and sharing we will create community together.
No matter what is happening in the world, pleasure and joy are still tools of resilience we can use to help us maintain our equilibrium and build connection. Come hear Halli Carbrey share about pleasure and joy as resources for daily living.
Even in the darkest of winter, we are still renewing and growing. At this multigenerational Sunday Service, come learn about the story of Bridgid and how we can embody resilience together.
In Person service has been cancelled due to weather forecasts. Please join us on zoom, check your email for the meeting link. To be able to resist cultural forces that want us to assimilate and accept beliefs different than our own, we need to be clear about what we believe and who we are. This will help us know how we are going to respond when faced with the ongoing onslaught of messages that tell us to conform.
Amos 5:24 says: "But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." This was Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite scripture. It is also the model for one hymn we have a very complex relationship with. Amos has a lot to teach us about how we show up in the world and how we live our lives. MLK Jr. was a great exemplar of that. Come join four area UU churches at Birmingham Unitarian Church to talk about the legacy of MLK Jr., his favorite scripture and our complicated history with trying to sing it.
