It's no secret that authoritarian impulses have made themselves known in national politics in recent years and have attracted a shocking number of adherents. It's no exaggeration that these developments have placed the actual survival of our democratic system at risk. Democracy allows ordinary American citizens to determine the persons and policies that will guide us into the future we desire. Encouraging widespread participation in local, state and national elections supports the survival of democracy. Our principles affirm

Rev. Peter Connolly preaching The situation comedy that we all know as Seinfeld ended years ago, but seems destined to live on forever in reruns, on DVD, and in our cultural consciousness. In this, the week when many of us have been April fools, it might be time to take a break for some fun-- and to find what truths live even in comedy.

Led by the Local Chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans It has now been fifty-four years since the first Earth Day celebration. We have mounted campaigns, crafted slogans, held a yearly COP in far away places, seen protests and marches, made promises and resolutions. The scientists have warned us of the outcome of continuing on our present trajectory, and sadly nothing seems to have made much of an impact. From this pulpit we have considered the Earth as our Mother, our home and our beloved Anam Cara… This year we will explore a different idea. Many people now

with Natalie Johnson https://zoom.us/j/97878277487 This Full Moon falls in the sign of Scorpio, perhaps the least understood and often maligned sign of the Zodiac. It also follows closely on the heels of Earth Day, the one day each year when humans celebrate the beauty and bounty of our planet, holding celebrations, festivals and ceremonies in honor of our beloved Mother Earth. It has now been 54 years since the first Earth Day when we became aware of the deleterious effects our collective lifestyle was having on Her and yet... for the most part, we continue to ignore the warnings, the

Rev. Peter Connolly preaching I expect that many of us have felt part of a "tribe," a group we feel a part of, which helps give us self-definition, and allows us to feel part of a greater whole. When that sense becomes solidified into tribalism, though, there's trouble. We'll talk about that today. Special music will be a Sephardic song presented by Heidi Woofenden, Patty Simon, and Polly Jacobson.
Church starts at 10:30 and we will be meeting during the church service, downstairs after the Message for All Ages around 10:45. This year we are Building a Bear of Wholeness. What does it take to make a home? This year we will think about this and what purposes and functions our home serves for both humans and animals. We will explore concepts of belonging, the role we play in our home and our community, and we will think about our faith home. Our faith home, much as our family home, offers joys, protection and responsibilities. Each month we will
