This Sunday’s service will focus on the Alternative Gift Market (AGM). Jenny Norton will give some perspective on the AGM in Cache Valley and the parent organization ( www.altgifts.org ). We will be talking about the Alternative Gift Market and how our involvement in this effort reflects UU principles and builds the interfaith community in Cache Valley. There will be a focus on gratitude for our friends, family and community.
Join us this Sunday as lay leader Tara Hawkins speaks to us about a way to be happier, healthier, and smarter. Cache Valley Unitarian Universalists is a lay-led congregation. Rather than relying on a full-time minister, members and friends of our congregation and invited guests, give of their time and talents to provide our worship experience, mirroring the diversity each of us brings to this community.
Star Coulbrooke, Logan’s poet laureate gives us a homily/presentation titled Poetry as Ceremony. An excerpt: “Poems express the depth of human emotion through scenes and images created from our most harrowing or sorrowful or joyous memories. Poems help us find meaning in those memories, meaning that evolves to make us resilient and vibrant and hopeful. Poetry brings us together in the bonds of language and experience.” After her presentation Star will lead us in a participatory poetry experience. Content warning: there will be some non-explicit mention of sexual assault/the “me too” movement.
Our Sunday service will be a combination of a ‘This I Believe’ and some insight into pagan traditions relevant to this time of year. Sondra Scott will be sharing her thoughts with us. The “This I Believe” series provides an opportunity for members and friends of CVUU to reflect upon beliefs and core values that guide us in our daily lives and to share the diversity of beliefs of our congregation.
Dan Judd will be speaking about his knowledge and experiences with Buddhism. Discussion to follow.
This Sunday Tara Hawkins will talk with us about love and survival. Please come and join the discussion.
