How would you feel if Homer Simpson and his family were your neighbors? Join long-time member Robert Schmidt for an interesting discussion on who you would or would not want as a neighbor and where is the slippery slope.
This Sunday, we’ll explore the idea of our spiritual diversity as a community — what that looks like, how we relate to it in our everyday interactions, and how we express it to others. See you at 10 am!
As part of our Fourth Sunday Lecture Series, Bear River Mental Health’s Kevin Winn will be talking about finding the key to maintaining a work/life balance. Kevin has worked for BRMH for about 30 years. He and his wife Patrice have four daughters and I don’t even know how many grandchildren (they keep moving). Kevin is active in his ward and helps Patrice run a championship jump rope team. Services will end at 11:15am so there will be time for Q&A with Kevin.
This month CVUU will begin facilitating the Our Whole Lives (OWL) Program, the UUA’s comprehensive sexuality education course, to a group of 7th-9th graders. Demonstrating that we can indeed talk about sexuality through our life stages, Jennifer Hamilton will be presenting on Sacred Intimacy — the idea that our sexuality can be and is deeply tied to our spirituality and relationship health. As a culture that is often sensitive and closed to talking openly about sexuality, Jennifer will demonstrate how allowing for vulnerability and openness can lead to healing and wholeness in ourselves, relationships and communities.
Dan Jud will talk about his work as a hospice chaplain including insights about end of life care. Music and hymns have proved central to Dan’s work. Expect more songs than readings. 5th Sunday potluck after the sevice. Bring a dish or other food item to share, or come as you are! All are welcome. Worship Associate: Emily James
This Sunday we will be kicking off a new 4th Sunday lecture series. In keeping with January’s theme of the personal journey, Jared Anderson will be speaking on his path towards becoming a religious humanist as opposed to a secular humanist, touching on the role that religious organization (not belief) plays in building strong communities. Jared teaches at Westminster College and is president of the Olam Institute.
