Our Next Service

Paying Attention: What is in Your Cup?

In a wisdom tale, Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh tells us the bump in the road doesn’t create what spills out of the cup we are carrying. Instead it reveals what is already inside. The question is not about who bumps us rather, “What am I carrying in my cup?”

Please join members of TUUC's sabbatical committee in drafting a covenant for the congregation's work together during the time that Rev. Linda Hart is on sabbatical from July through November 2020. Join a discussion after the worship service on Sunday, March 15 or Sunday, March 29 to offer your thoughts about key ideas for a sabbatical covenant. If neither of these times work for you, look for an announcement of an upcoming "Zoom" virtual meeting, or take a moment to share your ideas with Christy McDaniel, Scott Redman, Bob Hayes, or Tom Bookout.
