Feb 7 The Ghost of Reinhold Niebuhr

A consideration of perhaps the primary moral question of our time: Is "JUST WAR" just war? The fantasy and fallacy of so-called Christian Realism.

Rev. Bill Breeden
Feb 14 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.

Rev. Andy Burnette
Feb 21 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?

Sam Carman
Feb 28 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
Mar 7 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.

Scott McNeill
Mar 14 The Iowa Sisterhood

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.
