“The Measurements of Liberation”

We are consistently urged through our Unitarian Universalist values and principles to see our dignity tied to the dignity of others.  A dignity, that when seen in others is Godly, a type of holiness that connects us to a Love, perhaps a God, who tells us to love the stranger and to love the stranger actively. And yet loving the stranger has been a struggle for us as a people and us as a country. This Sunday we will explore what it means to be active in this love.

“Ninety Percent of the Game is Half Mental”

As we transition from a life of family, work, and acquisition to our Elderhood, how do the roles we have lived (or been assigned) give way to new wisdom and deeper soulfulness? Rev. Horst also suggests some contemplative practices for self-reflection on the aging process.
