Upcoming Services
Feb 5 - Silence: Presence, Not Absence
So often we shy away from silence and seek to fill it with meaningful - and sometimes not meaningful - noise. But what can we discover if we embrace silence? Building on what we discussed in the January sermon, “In Winter Silence,” this sermon will move beyond the experience of silence grounded in common experience of Nature to consider what we might find as we move into individual inner silence. Soloist will be Frank Piekut.
Feb 12 - Communion in Community
Many churches include some sort of communion in their spiritual ritual. Here at Second Parish, our experience of communion doesn’t seem to fit that pattern - and yet we do share deeply and with purpose. What IS the communion of our community? Mark Slawson will provide music.
Feb 19 - Coming to Terms: George Washington and Slavery
When we are challenged to change our perspective on long-held beliefs, we often resist and burrow into the safety of what we have always believed and practiced. Using George Washington, considered the Father of our Country, as a case study, this sermon will examine his change of perspective on slavery as we seek guidance for how we might be open to important new views. Our soloist will be Susannah Thornton.
Feb 26 - Guest Minister
Rev. Tom Schade, whom we have asked to speak on contemporary UU history. Rev. Tom served the First Unitarian Church in Worcester, MA from 1999 to 2013, and has held many positions in the UUMA. He retired in 2013, and wrote a regular blog entitled, “the Lively Tradition” which explores the intersection of current events and UU public theology. Our soloist will be Gabrielle Coyne.
