The Search for Love or How to Tame a Wild Yak in its Natural Habitat
Sunday Feb 23, 2020
Sunday Feb 23, 2020
Guest Speaker: Rev. Greg Ward. Falling in love can be amazing, wonderful, intoxicating and provides one of the best portals to truth, purpose and meaning the Universe offers. It can also be disorienting, confusing, mysterious and scary. It feels like we are asked to set aside every lesson our fear and ego taught us and learn an entirely new language. And the truth is, that is exactly what Love is asking.

Mother’s Day can be an opportunity for recognizing the diversity of family structures. Some children have a mother and a father, others may have two moms, two dads, a single mom or dad, grandparents raising them, divorced parents or a whole range of other family configurations. Inclusive celebrations can serve as an important learning experience by providing opportunities to discuss and acknowledge the many kinds of families in our communities.

This service starts with a Reflection by Claudia McDonagh. Then Rev. Maria Cristina will give a sermon about:
All life is interconnected. From the forest to the sea to humanity itself, each thread of being is woven into a single fabric of existence. We embrace nature’s beauty and are in awe of its power. We care for our environment so that it may sustain life for generations to come.

There is No Away

Sunday Mar 17, 2019
In these difficult times, what does it mean to dispose of people? What would it take to build a culture of healthy indispensability? It turns out that even if we dismiss someone or something from our presence, it remains part of the interconnected web of all existence. We will examine together the blessings and complicated nature of our interdependence.
Preceding the sermon is a bonus music track by Activist Songwriters Emma's Revolution. The song is entitled Swimming to the Other Side and is used with their permission.
