This morning, past UUFJC vice president Alexis joined us again to conclude our month of reflections on Trust. Alexis shared her own experience in taking the leap of faith to attend seminary and finding that others made possible what had not been possible before --- her "stepping out" was met with others' "stepping up." Such acts of faith, she said, require responses of care to open such possibilities. And acts of care are acts of faith also: faith that what we do matters, that we can make the world a better place, even though not every risk is encouraged or rewarded. Alexis believes that it is in the acceptance and give and take of a free community where we can find a faith worth stepping out and stepping up for.

Message: "Quest: When a Journey Becomes Real," Rev. Mike Adamek
The quest narrative, like Moby Dick, Invisible Man or Huckleberry Finn is a story in which the leading character or characters search for something of great importance to themselves. It is usually a quest for self understanding. Is your journey from cradle to grave marked by the passage of time, persons, places and things or is it a literary trope marked by a changing self-understanding?
If you have a joy or concern that you would like to have read during the Service, please submit it by noon on Friday through our website: http://uufjc.org/joys--concerns.html
Plus Children's RE --- "Journey In - Meditation"
