"Now Can We Do It Again?"

3/22/2021

 
Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of "Commitment."  She shared information about the path communities take through crisis, from initial impact to heroic response to a downslope of disillusionment and fatigue.  It seems our community has now reached the upslope of our journey with the Covid-19 pandemic, as we make the slow climb of working through what we've experienced and building a new future.  Through this, we have stayed committed; we have remained in community and continued coming together in worship, even when that meant reinventing ourselves.  Now it is time to reinvent ourselves again.  Emerging into a new world, let alone building one, can be overwhelming after our months of isolation and putting things off, but this is what our faith calls us to do.  As we support each other through this new time of reinvention, let us hold onto the things we've learned that will serve us going forward, and let us commit once again to our covenant and principles, to working for justice and love.

For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/g2R2u_Iw2t8

Next Sunday, March 28th:

Adult Forum - 9:15 am

"Hospice," Gennifer Monteer
Gennifer served as a hospice nurse at St. Mary's Hospital for many years.  She will bring her observations and insights.
