Title or Theme:   Instructions for Living
Speaker:  Rev. Amy McCormick
Worship Associate:   Margi Pulkingham

In a month with the theme is “Paying Attention,” I don’t think I could call myself a UU Minister and not touch in on Mary Oliver’s poem about how to live:
      Pay attention.
      Be astonished.
      Tell about it.
In this service, we’ll pair Mary Oliver’s Instructions for Living with a poem by Lisa Owens Viani titled, How to Be Dead and explore the nature of choice in every moment with a little wisdom from our UU ancestors thrown in.

Title or Theme:   Who Gets to Tell the Story? Part One
Speaker:  Rev. Amy McCormick
Worship Associate:   Jacquie Robb

On this Palm Sunday, we’ll explore together the stories and interpretations of Jesus of Nazareth’s final weeks. How do different scholars and theologians describe the events and subsequent meaning of these days. In a time when Christianity seems to be so often in conflict with itself, with over 40,000 different branches, who gets to tell the story? What lesson is there for us in this present day?
