SERMON SCHEDULE


Februray 21 - Why Is No One Listening?
Worship Leader:  Rev. Dr. James Macomber
Worship Associate:  Matt Manely
This is on the theme chosen by Michael Manely; it’s the sermon he can call “his very own.”  At last spring’s Northwest auction, Michael was high bidder on the sermon topic of his choice.  We are faced with dire warnings about environmental change, but there is a great deal of pushback from those who disavow change.  Why are they so quick to deny that we have a monumental problem?
 
February 28 - Servetus - A Unitarian Martyr
Worship Leader:  Kaye McCall
Worship Associate:  Rev. Dr. James Macomber
Our own Kaye McCall has been inspired to compose a play about our Reformation-era hero, Michael Servetus, author of De Trinitatis Erroribus (On the Errors of the Trinity).  With some staging assistance from Lynne Dale, this promises to be an insightful examination of how and why Servetus was martyred at the hands of John Calvin in Geneva in 1553.
 

  March 7 - All The Generations
Worship Leader:  Rev. Dr. James Macomber
Worship Associate:  Tony Barbagallo
Multigenerational Service, Choir Sunday
‘Tis the season for fundraising. . .please join in acknowledging our multigenerational community and how we need to support it in the work that we do for one another as well as for the wider community.
 
March 14 - Raging Waters and Slippery Rocks
Worship Leader:  Rev. Bill Neeley (see Visiting Minister on pg 2)
Worship Associate:  Lil Woolf
The spiritual journey can take one through difficult terrain and unfamiliar landscapes.  Is the journey worth its demands?  Where do we find the courage and hope to keep traveling?
 
March 21 - The Dilemma of Death and Loss
Worship Leader:  Rev. Dr. James Macomber
Worship Associate:  Lynne Dale
Choir Sunday
We endure the pain of losing someone dear to us altotether too often.  Yet, many UUs reject the notion of an afterlife where we can be reunited with loved ones.  Do we need something to replace of the doctrine of the eternal soul?
 
March 28 - Palm Sunday:  A Celebration of Community
Worship Leader:  Rev. Dr. James Macomber
Worship Associate:  Susan Burnore
The biblical Palm Sunday story is actually a story about community.  We’ll see if we can replicate that spirit as we make our pledge commitments for the coming church year.
