Many times change is unasked for, unwelcome, and downright hard. What can we learn, how can we grow, even when a change is not something of our choosing? Together we will contemplate changes in the seasons and in ourselves, considering how a “reframing” can help us heal and transform.
Unitarian Universalism is a faith tradition that loves its questions more than its answers. We live in the ambiguity of life and help each other get comfortable with not knowing. In this multicongregation Service, Rev. Julie Brock from 1st UU Detroit and Northwest UU (Southfield) and Rev. Karen Madrone from UU Farmington, will respond to questions posed by the congregation. This multi UU community will practice taking risks and stepping into what is unknown.
We will be finishing up our Get Out the Vote letters: stuffing, closing, and stamping. We will also be talking about all of the other things we can do between the end of September and November 5. Come help us earn our Good Trouble Congregation status again this year!
We will spend some time uplifting stories about trans people from human history. We may enjoy some speculative history together about what indigenous trans people were doing in their communities before colonialism brought fear of anything outside of the binary (engaging with our imagination!). We will read names of trans people who have passed and do some grieving practices together.
