Upcoming Sunday Worship Services
The Sunday Worship Services and Religious Education Program begin at 10:30 a.m. starting September 13, 2009.
March 7: Music Sunday – You’ve Gotta Have A Song! Susan Hotchkiss
Do you carry around a special song, a tune that won’t go away, lyrics that have a special hold? We are surrounded by songs – words and melodies that capture moods, evoke memories, fill us with energy, calm our souls, and carry us through hard times. As UUs, we have shared songs in our hymnals that allow us to raise our voices together in worship and community. These songs give definition to who we are, not only as individuals, but as a congregation and a denomination. If you don’t have a song, you’ve gotta get one! The Choir and Junior Choir will be singing. We will also be celebrating the dedication of Elijah Gish this morning.
March 14: Why Money Messes With Your Mind Tricia Tummino
For many reasons, money is a real hot-button issue for many people and probably has been since money first evolved. The Bible, for example, has some 2,350 references to money. Psychologists studying how we think about money are revealing why many of us have such fraught relationships with our cash. Today we take a closer look. Helen Casoli is our storyteller this morning, and special music will be provided by Jeannie Gagné and Stan Strickland, longtime friends of the church who are both on faculty at Berklee College of Music.
March 21: The Call To Feed The Hungry – 2010 Tricia Tummino
Never has a famine covered the whole earth, and yet a sizable portion of the world’s population suffer from hunger. The problem of hunger in the world is a matter of distribution and will, and of political and economic circumstances. These are conditions over which humans exercise control. The choir is singing, and Annie Giddings will be our storyteller this morning.
