I’m convinced that if the world survives these dangerous times it will be tens of millions of small things that do it. Keep on.
— Pete Seeger

As I write this, my husband is mowing our paths in a cap that says “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” I have one too, and he brought them back from a conference trip long ago when I was working for a state agency headed by a newly elected official who had fired everyone in the top levels of the agency, and changes were being demanded, without much understanding, in our IT department – at “warp speed.”

I’ve been thinking and reading about how our religions shape our views of the world and each other for a while now, and some of them – flavors of every world religion and beyond – take the attitude that beating people up (including ourselves) will improve morale, or at least behavior. Others focus on gratitude and leading our best lives in harmony with creation and each other. So this Sunday I’ll be sharing some thoughts about that, and how we live in these parlous times.

We currently conduct a full worship service on the first Sunday of each month, and discuss a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.

Please Join us for Worship.

Our services are Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on ZOOM and in person at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave. in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse. A coffee hour, a time for discussion and socializing (including ZOOM participants), follows from the end of the service until 12:00 noon. More about us.

If you prefer not to be seen, video is optional. If you would like to participate online, please email westforkuu@gmail.com for details and a link, or for help with using ZOOM.

We would love to have you come worship with us.

Children are welcome.

The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom. You may park on the south side of the building, which is marked reserved for the PWA, or the north, where the reserved spaces are available on Sundays.
