Speaker: Rev. Dr. Linda A. Hart

Worship Service with Peter Mayer and Rev. Linda Hart

,

Is “Blue Boat Home” by Peter Mayer one of your favorite songs to sing with our congregation? Enjoy this special service of music with Peter Mayer from Sunday, August 2.

Minnesota’s Peter Mayer has been singing and songwriting full-time for over 20 years, performing in venues across the United States and beyond. He writes songs for a small planet–songs that celebrate life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence–songs about the vast cosmos that surrounds us and how we are a part of it all. He also writes songs about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and even love and freight trains just like a good folk musician should. His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, Claudia Schmidt, Anne Hills, Priscilla Herdman, Darryl Purpose, Billy Jonas, and Ronny Cox, to name a few. His work has been included in song books, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country. Peter has eleven albums to his credit, and has sold over 100,000 of them. He lives in Stillwater, Minnesota with his wife and two daughters. Learn more about Peter Mayer and his music at https://www.petermayer.net/

Transformations

We’re still living into the new normal. What will that be? What will it look like a year from now.  Join Rev. Linda in reflecting on how we engage in *transformation* and not just recreating what has gone before.

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.

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.
