Love's Baptism: Emily Dickson on
Love and Faith In the poem sometimes titled "Love's
Baptism," Emily Dickinson offers her take on the faith of her
childhood and her much-changed adult faith. Her conclusion may
also teach us something about love and relationships. |

7th Principle Wake-Up Call--The
Sequel The bond between young people and the natural
environment is rapidly eroding, revealing serious physical,
psychological, social and environmental implications. The
problem has grown beyond simply 'who will care for the Earth';
it threatens to make this the first generation with a life
expectancy shorter than its parents. In light of this crisis,
how can we best work toward fulfilling our 7th principle of
respect for the interdependent web of all existence? |

A Woman For All Time: Esther's
Heroism Today is the feast of Purim, in which the Jews
mark the story of Esther which is recorded in the Hebrew Bible
in the Book of Esther. We'll re-tell the story and find some
themes for our own lives. |
Rev. Andy Burnette |

The Fire of Commitment - What
moves you? What speaks to your soul and to your mind
and to your heart? What sparks your passion in this world? We
are called to find that fire deep within us and share it with
each other, to shape the world with love and justice. |

Unitarian Universalist Service
Our service typically includes congregational singing, inspirational readings, a time for silent meditation, a diverse selection of music and a sermon. The sermons, readings and music at UUCC draw inspiration from many sources and cultures. The words used in a guided meditation may sound like prayer but they are usually not addressed to, or request the support of a supernatural deity. Time is also allowed for the sharing of "Joys and Concerns". People attending the service may voluntarily share with the congregation births, deaths, particular struggles, and changes in relationships. Members of the congregation participate with the minister and/or guest speaker in planning and leading services.
