Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of Story. Even if we are not fiction fans, humans by default make meaning out of life by organizing it into stories. These stories can help us find a path through a complicated and chaotic world, but Nancy suggested we be careful what paths we create and follow in this way. Just notice, she said, what kinds of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, about others, and about the transcending mysteries of existence. Do we tell stories of redemption or contamination? Of transformation and potential or of hopelessness? With our stories, do we empower ourselves or blame ourselves? Where do our stories push others to the margins? How do the stories we tell change over time? Rev. Nancy called on each of us to notice how our stories construct the past and lead us to build the future.
Also please note: UUFJC's Annual Business Meeting is coming in one week, next Sunday, May 23rd after Services. The agenda, voter list, and last year's minutes are available on request. The Agenda is also included in the May Newsletter. In this way we are trying to honor our commitment to post this information in advance of the meeting while adapting to our current mostly-online operations and respecting voting members' privacy. You can request the documents from [email protected] or contact Katherine Connor at [email protected] with questions or concerns.
For those who would like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service from today is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/_q3GJKh9rEE
