UUFJC Newsletter, "Flame on the Water" May 2022
Sunday, April 24th:
This morning, we virtually joined our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia for a service honoring Earth Day. To help heal the environmental damage our societal systems cause, focusing on individual choices distracts us with small-impact actions. Even the idea of "saving the planet" can cast us as having control over the Earth when the truth is the other way around. So what can we do? Rev. Molly Housh-Gordon called on us, through embodied experiences of connection with natural beauty, to act in community and to focus on our love for each other and the Earth all around us. If we are going to save the planet, we must do it not as individual magnanimous masters, but as connected beings acting together within and from a wild love.
The service is now available to view online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMFvmRAN9kI
Note: Next Sunday is our Annual Business Meeting, followed by a Potluck Lunch! More information below.
