Sunday, April 7, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – “Interdependence” –Rev. Matt Aspin, LCUUC Minister
The proposed update to the Unitarian Universalist Bylaws notes that UU’s not only value the concept of Interdependence, but also covenant to live our lives in accordance with that reality. Join us to reflect upon how a view of ultimate connection impacts every aspect of our lives.
SECOND HOUR: Parent's Group - Family Ministry would like to hear your questions about what they are working on…and your suggestions about what they can add to their program. You don’t need to be a parent or have children in the program – just an interest in supporting the next generation of UU children!

Sunday, April 21, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – “We're All Connected” –UU Ministry for Earth
Earth Day invites us to remember that all life on this fragile planet is interdependent, and that each of our individual and collective actions impact the entire system. Invite a friend to this service to amplify the effect of this shared experience whose impact will in some ways ripple out to the whole of creation.
This is not only our Earth Day service, it's also our annual, "Bring a Friend To Service Day" event! We will be highlighting the good works of this congregation towards a healthier environment, and inviting folks to join us in our work towards a better tomorrow. (And if "A friend" sounds too limiting, feel free to bring as many friends as you want! The more the merrier!).
SECOND HOUR: Craft & Chat - We are planning on offering a 2nd Hour workshop after service on 4/21. It will be celebrating Earth Day and Stephanie & I will be showing how to Upcycle bed sheets using a Rag Rug Technique into a small trivet or coaster. We will set up in north side of social hall by the windows.

Sunday, April 28, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – “Democracy Is Not Unity” with Rev. Mark Richards of WUUSAN
Much of our political rhetoric these days involves words like "liberty", "unity", and "founding fathers." We seemed compelled to "unite" around certain policies and programs. But our democratic republic is not designed to create unity, rather to provide a process that allows agreements to be reached when there are passionate differences in opinion. We will explore how the idea of democracy seems to be under attack, offer some historical perspectives, and consider what we as Unitarian Universalists can do to ensure this great liberal experiment we call the United States of America will persist.
SECOND HOUR: Rev. Mark Richards will talk about what's happening with the Wisconsin UU State Action Network.

Sunday, May 26, 2024 @ 10 a.m. – “Nirvana in 7 Days: the Buddhist Roots of Mindfulness” with Dr. Pascale Engelmajer In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha tells his assembly of monks that if one can cultivate the four ways of establishing mindfulness for just 7 days, they will attain nirvana. What are these four ways of establishing mindfulness? How do they relate to our western, contemporary, commercialized idea of “mindfulness”? Might turning to the original teaching of the Buddhist tradition help us cut through the secular mindfulness hype? And can ancient Indian Buddhist texts teach us anything about how to be mindful, less distracted, and happier in today’s world?
SECOND HOUR: Dr. Pascale Engelmajer will continue her conversation about the Buddhist roots of mindfulness.
