Sunday, February 6
This morning, Rev. Mike Adamek joined us via Zoom to begin our month of focus on "Widening the Circle." Rev. Mike suggested widening our circle by looking for ways to help others by finding common ground. Often, such common ground is difficult to see, but we can remember that people have positive commitments that underlie even negative behavior, and that the cues we take from their words and actions might not be the ones that embody their meaning as they see it. Everyone wants to be heard, and by deeply listening, we can be more helpful than if we try to impose our judgment and "fix" others. While upholding our own values, we can listen even when it's hard and offer support, and we might find that we also receive support when we least expect it.
For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their sermon from this morning is available to view online: https://youtu.be/1vBEVDHhW_k
