Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy got a bit "meta" with a message about how we approach our time together on Sundays. She described worship as "a crossroads between the apprehension of the holy and daily life." In our sort of Fellowship, we don't necessarily agree on what (or whether) "the holy" might be, but we don't have to agree to come together in liturgy, open ourselves to the experience, and carry something of it back out into the world.
Next Sunday, May 31st:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Bernie Sanders," Bob Boldt
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Message: "Reflections from a Rebellious Romantic," Alexis Engelbrecht-Villafañe
Inspired by the poetry and philosophy of Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth, this talk explores how to live according to our values in a society that often demands compromise and is full of distractions.

Next Sunday, May 31st at 2 pm, we will be hosting a presentation: “Why We Should Fear Islamophobia.” Pre-emptive prosecutions, thought crimes, pre-trial solitary confinement and declining civil liberties. Muslims have been the usual targets, but it is unlikely to stop there. Why are practices that decades ago were viewed as unthinkable widely accepted today? We will look at some examples, and talk about what we are trying to do about it. Join Mel Underbakke, Ph.D., Director of Education, National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms, and Fred Bryant, Co-Director, Friends of Human Rights. Co-sponsored by UUFJC and Capital Area Interfaith Alliance.
