Saturday, October 3 @ 4:30pm & Sunday, October 4 @ 9 & 11am - ``Give Them Not Certainty, But Beauty``
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
``Give them not hell, but hope,`` proclaim the apocryphal words attributed to our Universalist forebear John Murray. In our own era, Unitarian Universalists are called to resist both the hells of the day and the authoritarian claims of certainty that buttress them. To do so, we must build up our own architecture of beauty upon which a tolerance of unknowing may rest.
On Saturday, David Lauth will play selections for guitar. On Sunday, Society Choir will sing.
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon is minister of the UU Church of Columbia, Missouri and author of the new picture book Dance Together, Spin Apart from Skinner House Press, which supports children and those who care for them in addressing big questions about life and death with wonder, beauty, and grounding in science.
Saturday, October 10 @ 4:30 pm & Sunday, October 11 @ 9 & 11 am - ``Acting on Faith``
Revs. Kelly Crocker & Kelly Asprooth-Jackson
Over 35 years ago, Unitarian Universalist minister Forrest Church wrote that, ``the principal sin besetting many of us today is the sin of sophisticated resignation.`` By this he meant feeling strongly about matters of principle while accepting that there is nothing to be done about them. Our creedless faith has long emphasized that what a person - or a community - does is far more descriptive of their character than whatever beliefs they might espouse. In this service, we will explore pushing past the barrier of sophisticated resignation.
On Saturday, Linda Warren will play music for solo harp. On Sunday at 9am, the Teen Choir will sing. At 11am, the Cherubs and Choristers will sing.
