MLK Day for the 21st century

CZ

This is a podcast from Sky Island UU Church. “Rev. Miller is visiting us from the San Diego area and will give the sermon today. MLK led a deeply meaningful movement firmly rooted in his faith in the era of his life. The question is, what are we doing, grounded in our faith, for the needs of the 21st century?”

This may seem late, but with all of the turmoil going on in our country I thought this was important.

We are a growing faith

CZ

A new article in USA Today describes how Unitarian Universalism is growing.

“Although they remain small in total numbers with about 211,000 adherents nationwide, Unitarians believe their open-minded faith has a bright future as an alternative to more exclusive brands of religion.”

Come join us. See what this growth is about.

We Need One Another

CZ

Erik Walker Wikstrom

We come together this morning because within us there is something that knows we need more than we can find in our aloneness. We know—instinctively, in the depths of ourselves—that we need others for this journey of life even though we also guard our independence and individuality quite jealously.

And just as we come together as individuals to make this congregation, so our Unitarian Universalist congregations come together to form an Association—the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations—because we need more than we can find in our aloneness. We, too, guard our independence and our individuality, yet in our togetherness we are so much more than we can ever be on our own.

So on this Association Sunday, let us celebrate all that makes us unique yet also all that makes us one, and let us dream dreams of all that we can do… together.

Found this today in my Illuminations App. We do all need each other. Hopefully we can recognize this and work together for a better world.

Let us Sing The Magic of Imagination by Susan L. Van Dreser

CZ

Let us sing the magic of imagination by which we know one another and learn the lives of eras gone by.
Let us sing the magic of creation by which we build the world of our soul and teach its wisdom to others, young and old.

Let us sing the magic of our lives together, holding and shaping by the movement of breath from heart to lung all new life that is to come.

Go now with singing. Go now with magic in your fingertips. Touch this world with life.

I found this on my Illuminations App and I thought I should pass it on.
