No Justice, No Peace

The past few weeks have laid bare again the racial divides in this country. UU minister Karen Hutt preached a powerful sermon in Minneapolis on May 31. In service of lifting up Black voices, we’ll hear her sermon as the center of our worship.

“Challenging Conversations” message shared by Nancy Slocum, Director of Religious Exploration during the Sunday, June 14, 2020 “No Justice, No Peace” worship service.

You can also watch the recorded message by Rev. Karen Hutt of First Universalist Church of Minneapolis that was shared as part of our worship service.

Talking to Grief

As our time of isolation continues, we probably will experience grief: from the loss of face to face community, people we love who are dying, fractured relationships, all of it. We need a place to hold our grief. This service will offer some perspective and a brief ritual for acknowledging our losses.

Thresholds – Online Worship Service

,

Late spring is always a time for changes. People who are in school change grades or graduate. We begin to transition to summer pursuits It’s a time to pause and recognize changes that have happened. This service will recognize our graduating high school seniors and celebrate our new members who have joined this year. We’ll offer a blessing to recently born Ira Gene Arnold. Matt Aspin, newly graduated, will stop in for a visit, too.

Online Worship Service Postponed for Sunday, May 17 – Blessing of the Animals

Due to a global outage of Zoom, this worship service is postponed until Sunday, May 24 at 10:30 a.m. See more details at this link.

Our companion animals are an important part of our families. They bring us love and company, perspective, and joy and laughter. (Laughing *with* them, that is.) We’ll celebrate our shared love in this service of blessing. Send a picture of your animal(s) along with their name(s) to Rev. Linda (minister@tahomauu.com) so we can all see them as we offer blessings.

Please join us for worship service via Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/581391656 . 
You can also listen on your phone by dialing 253-215-8782 to hear the worship service.

What Gets Us Through

May 4th is the 50th anniversary of the shooting at Kent State University. Four students were killed by members of the National Guard. As we make our way through the time of pandemic, it may help to look at what we have done in the past to create meaning in the midst of hard times. A reflection from Rev. Barbara Childs who was there that day and who has returned every year will invite us into a reflection on meaning making by Rev. Linda.

Singing for Our Lives

Join Rev. Linda and Emma’s Revolution for a Sunday of singing and dancing spirits. Music can give voice to feelings that are hard to express otherwise. Let’s join together (virtually, of course) to reflect, sing, laugh, and dance.

Grief and Hope – Online Worship Service

Easter is a holiday that celebrates the victory of life over death. Often UUs trumpet Easter’s hope without the grief of Good Friday. Our service will invite reflection on both in the time of the virus.
