Around the World Religions
10:30 AM Service
In Native American lore, each person has a natural orientation, her or his starting point. But each must journey around
the “medicine wheel,” experiencing the other orientations. Using this metaphor, each of us, from our own starting place, should experience other world religions. We can benefit, be made whole, through the insights of the several world faiths. Today’s remarks will offer praise of
religious eclecticism.

Actualization and Transcendence
10:30 AM Service
The second half of the Twentieth
Century was an era that stressed self-actualization.
(Remember Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs with self-actualization
at the top?) Somewhat in opposition to
actualization is transcendence. How
do the two differ? Does transcendence
introduce a religious dimension that
actualization lacks?

The High Tide of the Year
10:30 AM Service
Given a long and dull winter, I can’t wait
for the ministrations of Spring. Playing on
the contrasts of winter and spring, I’ll offer
a meditation of hope and possibilities for
society as well as for the individual.

Journeys of Conscience
10:30 AM Service
The UCH Social Action Committee
will present a celebration of UCH’s
commitment to social justice, including
accountings of “Journeys of Conscience”
presented by committee members.
We’ll also enjoy inspiring historical and
contemporary protest songs performed
and led by Jeff and Sara Teppema
and friends with opportunities for the
congregation to sing-along or just listen. A
time to reflect. A time to affirm.
