Services for February

Each new year is a beginning. It’s a time when we take stock, form intentions, make resolutions. Perhaps this process is asking, essentially, “Which door will I choose?” There are many doors. Some may be obvious; some may be hidden; some may be accessible only after a hard trek. The choice, though, should not be about how easy or difficult it is to reach the door—or about how many others are flocking to it. The choice is personal and should arise from spiritual health, a desire for positive growth, and a deep need to live the soul’s most cherished values. There are many doors.

Daniel

Rev. Jaye Brooks
February 1

When we think about resilience—about finding our center after a shock or setback—the connections between heroism, survival, and resilience may not be immediately visible. To be able to thrive during challenging times, we need to gain distance from the culture in which we are embedded. Rev. Jaye explores these themes using an ancient story and a contemporary one, both about a man named Daniel.

Truth Matters

February 8

Religion and science are not adversaries. Rather, they look at the natural world from different perspectives and ask, and answer, different questions.

At a time when religion is all-too-often being equated with fundamentalism and when we are in a deep and troubling period of science-denialism, the service this morning, entitled Truth Matters, recognizes that since we are living in a time when science is under attack, facts are denied, vast amounts of government research and data are erased, books are banned, and video and audio recordings can be unverifiable, it's time for people of faith to hear from their pulpits that truth matters.
