Revs. Kelly Crocker and Kelly Asprooth-Jackson
For the fifth year in a row, we are holding this service created by your questions. From UU history and theology to song recommendations and thoughts on finding meaning in interesting times, the questions you submit in advance always lend a unique character to this service. Come join us to hear what questions were submitted this year - and our answers thereto.
Linda Warren will play piano arrangements by Mark Hayes.
Revs. Kelly Crocker and Kelly Asprooth-Jackson and Others
We join together, for the fourth year, as Madison Unitarian Universalist Congregations, people guided by and centered in love and all that it asks of us. This morning we will explore how love is central to our faith tradition, how it called our ancestors forward in their time, and what it is calling us toward in these times, in a world so desperately in need of a powerful and justice raising love.
This is our fourth year of holding a joint service together with our sibling congregations, Prairie UU Society and James Reeb UU Congregation. This year, unlike for the past three years, we will be hosting the service at our building, in the Atrium Auditorium. The service will feature an Anybody Choir including members of all three congregations - the sole rehearsal for which begins at 8:20am that morning.
We’ll have a potluck meal in the Gaebler Living Room and the Landmark Lawn after the service - please bring a dish to share, and your own beverage, plate and utensils. In honor of the 75th anniversary of the Landmark Meeting House, the Friends of the Meeting House are offering a tour at 8:45 am beginning in the Landmark Lobby and will be providing cake for our potluck.
All money collected in the offering will go to CILC (Community Immigration Law Center), strives to ensure dignity and access to justice for people, especially those facing deportation, by providing legal representation and consultations, as well as support and education regarding immigration issues for the community at large.
Rev. Kelly Crocker, Roz Woodward, and FUS Poets
We continue our beloved tradition of sharing the poems of our FUS community. Poets from our congregation will read selections of their own work on the topic of welcoming the stranger. Many in our community draw upon poetry to inspire us with fresh insight, give voice to our deeper thoughts and emotions, and strengthen our sense of who we are and the meaning of our lives. We continue this tradition because we honor the voices of the poets among us and know that poetry has the power to heal us, challenge us, and bring us together.
Linda Warren and Cathy Clewett will play duets for harp.
