UU Lent 2022 – Day 32 – Soul
Month of Awakening
Our theme for the month of April is Awakening. We will be posting about it and incorporating it into our services.
May we awakened to a new dawn and be reminded of our faith. May we be awakened to risk so that we may create a new tomorrow.
Here are some songs to get us started.

UU Lent 2022 – Day 30 – Water
“Water unites us. All water is one water, shape-shifting as it goes on and on in its unending cycle. The stream we gather by unites us with all the waters of the world, for all of life depends on water.
That’s why this common, everyday element on which our very lives depend is sacred.
In our thankfulness for water, let us remember to honor, cherish, and care for it—for our own lives, for all life touched by water, and for those who come after us.” – All Water Is One Water by Mel Hoover, Rose Edington

Renewing Faith in Times of Crisis-Management
“Speaking from a rising generation of clergy and lay leaders who formed their commitments to liberal religion at the end of the optimistic modernist age, she shows how the religious life is not characterized by endless human advancement, but by lurching movement, crisis-management, and pain…” – from After the Good News by Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd
“Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think can happen… Universal basic income. A 15-hour workweek. Open borders. Does it sound too good to be true? One of Europe’s leading young thinkers shows how we can build an ideal world today.” – Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World, Rutger Bregman
UU Lent 2022 – Day 29 – Empathy
Sunday, April 3, 2022
“What does it mean to be in covenant? How do we handle the mutual accountability of living in love? What do we need from our shared agreements now and in the future?”
Join us for worship and a potluck lunch. We will be discussing the Article II Study Commission and our values as they apply to our faith. Please join us and bring a dish to share!
We will gather at 10:30 a.m. at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave. in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse. More about us.
Classes and worship are replaced by Spiritual Outings on the first Sunday of each month during the summer, with brief worship, a potluck picnic, and outdoor activities. The schedule is in the sidebar.
We would love to have you come worship with us.
Children are welcome. There is childcare and an activity for young children during the service.
The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom.

UU Lent 2022 – Day 28 – Art
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent Van Gogh
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” Pablo Picasso
“I think there’s an artist hidden at the bottom of every single one of us.” – Bob Ross
UU Lent 2022 – Day 27 – Play
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood,” Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers.
