UUFJC Newsletter: Flame on the Water, March 2023
Sunday, February 28th:
This morning, Rev. Michelle Scott-Huffman, friend of our Fellowship and minister at First UU of Springfield Missouri, joined us in person to wrap up our month of reflections on Love. Love has many definitions, from the sweetness of cuddling or romance to the fierce love that stands up for justice, and the latter definition in particular speaks to many of us as UUs. Our first and second principles, "the inherent worth and dignity of every person" and "justice, equity, and compassion," call us into this kind of love, and while we have no creed, this can form a center for our wider UU faith. We may wonder, "Can our love really change the world?" But we know that love can heal us, and as we heal, we become more able to spread healing and strength to our neighbors and surroundings. We can change the world, bit by bit, when we ask ourselves as a spiritual practice: "What would Love have me do today?"
For those who would like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service message from this morning is available to view online:
