"Hope Springs"

Rev Barbara Dingwall Mills
Description

On Sunday, May23rd, Rev. Barbara Dingwall Mills, minister of the UU Church of Weymouth, will deliver a sermon entitled “Hope Springs” at the Fall River UU Church via Zoom. Spring is the time that we all wish for rebirth and renewal, but sometimes those are difficult and elusive concepts for us to grasp if we have suffered tremendous suffering and loss. While we’ve all heard the saying that “hope springs eternal”, if you have experienced events that are so searing to your mind, body, and soul that you find this thought too hard to conceive, maybe just hoping will have to be sufficient.

“The Inner Light and the Society of Friends”.

Rev Ann Fox
Description

Hello to all of our family and friends,

This week Our guest leader will present a sermon titled “The Inner Light and the Society of Friends”.

The concept of a divinely-inspired “Larger Self” first came to us from ancient Hinduism and most recently from many New Age teachings. However, we need look no further than the Society of Friends (Quakers) for a similar but unique teaching of the “Inner Light.” Perhaps this 17th century teaching has something useful and modern to consider for our Unitarian Universalist path.

"Purpose Not Perfection"

Rev Danielle Di Bona
Description

Hello to our friends and family,

Joining us on Sunday, March 28th, is the Rev Danielle Di Bona. Her sermon is titled “Purpose Not Perfection”. The poet Amanda Gorman writes: "we are not striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge a union with purpose.”  Unitarian Universalists often get stuck in the perfection cycle which often prevents both a faith filled communal spirit and relationship. Let's focus on building relationships for the good of our communities.
