Worship Service

A UU Easter Sunday

Speaker: Rev. Sally Weaver: Debb Music: Spirit Choir

The Elm Dance is a circle dance popularized by Joanna Macy and practiced by lovers of life around the world. We will hear the story behind the dance, a remembrance of the losses produced by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Then we will do the Elm Dance ourselves, as a way of expressing our solidarity and sending out our intentions for the healing of our world. Speaker: Natalie Zend Weaver: Moira Music: Cassie Norton  

Science fiction stories are one of the ways humans have expressed our fears, hopes, and imaginings about who we are and how we fit into the universe.

This service topic was chosen courtesy of the winner of this year's "Choose Sally's sermon topic" auction item. If you have a topic you want Sally to preach on, be sure to bid in next year's auction!
