    "Memorial Day Service" - Rev. Rachel Lonberg, May 28

    On our annual Memorial Day weekend service of remembrance, we will remember those who have died in war and military service. We will also honor church members and others who have died in the past year and the griefs that so many of us carry.

    “The Limits of Tolerance” – Rev. Rachel Lonberg, May 7th 2023

    In our April question box service, a People’s person submitted this note: ‘This isn’t exactly a question, but something I’ve grappled with. I always thought of myself as a tolerant, open-minded person, but as so much extreme thought/actions have occurred (infringing what I consider basic rights), I will not be tolerant of those. So I’ve come to understand my tolerance and open-mindedness definitely has limits.’ The service will explore the limits of tolerance.

    “Mayday! Mayday!” – Rev. Rachel Lonberg, April 30th

    "The Church of the Helping Hands” - Rev. Rachel Lonberg, April 16th

    Every week, the preschool class at People’s Church lights a chalice with the words ‘We light this chalice as a symbol of Unitarian Universalism. This is the church of the open mind. This is the church of the helping hands. This is the church of the loving heart. Welcome, everyone!’ How can we best help one another in hard times? In this service, Rev. Rachel will share wisdom for being a helpful helper. There will also be a chance to sign up to offer care (such as meals, rides, and visits) to other folks when the need arises.

    "Resurrection for Skeptics" - Rev. Rachel Lonberg, April 9, 2023

    On this Easter Sunday, Rev. Rachel will explore stories of resurrection (including Jesus and Zombies) as well as the scientific reality that our atoms continue to cycle through ecosystems and other living beings long after we die.

    "To Question, Truly, is an Answer" - Rev. Rachel Lonberg, April 2nd, 2023

    It is a day for questions at People’s Church (but isn’t every day a day for questions?) Bring your questions about meaning, ethics, integrity, People’s Church, Unitarian Universalism and more (but please no math problems). Rev. Rachel will do her best to answer as many of them as she can during the service – and all of them will help shape the focus of our worship services and church programming over the coming year.

    “Living in the Exhale” – Rev. Rachel Lonberg, March 19th, 2023

    Rebecca Solnit writes, “Think of the Carboniferous as a sixty-million-year inhale by plants, sucking carbon dioxide from the sky, and the last two hundred years as a monstrous human-engineered exhale, undoing what the plants did so long ago.” How might we, residents of this time of exhale, during a month that local activists have called Climate Emergency Month, transform our grief at climate change into ferocious love and courageous action? This episode is the sermon ONLY. For the FULL service, please check it out on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/jwplr29Vp3c
