    The Mountain: Reflections on our Core Values

    This week's service focuses on UU-affiliated Mountain Retreat and Learning Center, which has been in operation since 1979. Steph Anderson's sermon (yes, it IS a sermon! If you're at the pulpit on Sunday morning, you're delivering a sermon) it serves as an explainer to us Roswell congregants. While theirs is not a church home as such, it is a place people gather to call home if only for a few days, in a natural setting.

    Loss and Opportunity

    Our Rev. Kim Palmer, who will be departing these environs in a rather disturbingly short amount of time, explains that while transitions afford growth and opportunity, they can also be tinged with sadness and loss.

    While The Cat's Away

    Duncan Teague, our guest in the pulpit, recommends we savor a jelly donut while considering the wisdom of Albert Camus: "Eternity was here, while I was waiting on it."The sabbatical is similar to a school's spring break, but we often miss the fact that not only is the minister gone to explore, like Rev. Dave Dunn, but also the congregation has an opportunity to also explore collectively, how we want our ministry to look and feel while the leader is away.

    Flower Communion

    "Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Our lay speaker, UUMAN member Debra Burrell, uses Lady Bird Johnson's inspirational words to inform this service. It's a ritual with a long and courageous history. Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian martyr Norbert Čapek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Mája Čapek, Norbert's widow.   "Lily and Lilacs" and "Nature's Blessings" composed by Alex Pietsch. Copyright 2024. All rights reserved. Intro and outro background music by Tim Moor at Pixabay.

    Affirming Our Worth

    We shouldn't HAVE to affirm our own worth, but given the silos we're forced into as citizen-consumers, sometimes it's something to consider. Our guest preacher, Lylah Lockridge, offers the example of airline perk programs as emblematic of the perceived social class we're assigned. Or, as she puts it, "Those who are unable or unwilling to pay a higher price receive no perks....If you are the last to board, you are received like the closing credits in a sad movie." (Also, a "little secret." Belief in our inherent worth and dignity IS heaven.) There's also the latest announcements and good news from Stewardship.
