Descriptions of Sunday Services
THE SURVIVAL OF EVOLUTION
Rev. Jessica Purple Rodela and Judith Koeller
Music: Clara Hilts.
In honour of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birthday, we will reflect on the implications of evolution and the interesting intersection of science and faith.
THE LIBRARIES OF OUR SOULS
Rev. Jessica Purple Rodela
Music: Clara Hilts and Blind Faith.
In honour of the opening of our new congregational library, Rev. Jessica and other bibliophiles will tell the stories about the stories and books that helped shape our lives, provoke our assumptions, and soothe our souls.
SIMULTANEOUS, YET DIFFERENT: THE PRISM OF OUR FAITH
(NEW MEMBER SUNDAY)
Rev. Jessica Purple Rodela
Music: Clara Hilts and The Spirit of Life Choir.
As Unitarian Universalists, we are of one faith, but many beliefs. Under one roof, we worship together - Pagan and Protestant, agnostic and atheist, Buddhist and Jew, the Christian and the curious. That full spectrum is vital to our spiritual robustness. Let us celebrate our infinite ways of being human.
THE “OTHER” U: A PATH OF INCLUSIVITY
Carly Gaynor
Music: Boyd McDonald.
At the time of the 1961 merger of North American Unitarians and Universalists to form the Unitarian Universalist Association, most of the congregations in Canada were Unitarian. Unitarianism continues to be a strong influence in Canadian congregations. How has the other U - Universalism - shaped us, and what does it mean for us today?
