Sunday Reflections

Over the last two months, we’ve been in the depths of some of the breadth of our theological diversity: Samhain, All Souls, Advent (coming soon, Hanukkah).

And we’ve had services of vastly different energy: we debuted our Fellowship Band with upbeat joy, and we had a spoken and sung prayer with contemplation.

More than one of you in the receiving line has said (on different Sundays) something like: “thank you for your message. The feel of the service was not for me, and I know it was for others here. Thank you for doing this.”

What a beautiful sentiment to receive. Sometimes in Unitarian Universalism we can become the muddled melding pot (where no one really shines, the least common denominator). At UUFWS, we’ve made the bold proclamation that we’d rather be a bright mosaic, where we all shine at different times, in different ways.

We believe we learn even from the experiences that aren’t “our thing”. And we wonder, perhaps, if we learn and grow most from these? We wonder, what might be there for us to learn in services that feel less in our own language (verbal, emotional or spiritual)?

And, we’re excited to explore this all together.

And – if you wanted to explore All Creation Waits, the advent calendar in a book we looked at this past Sunday, here are links for the children’s edition as well as the original edition and a gift edition.
