May 2, 2021 - As Is –Rev. Tony Larsen
The last time Rev. Tony Larsen was in our pulpit, he gave a sermon titled “As If.” Two small words, two small syllables, four single letters—yet large in meaning. Well, this Sunday Rev. Tony will give a sermon on two other small words: “as is,” also large in meaning. About this topic, he says: “If you’ve ever been to the discount section of a store (or gone to a yard sale), you may have seen the label ‘as is.’ It lets you know that there may be some flaws in the product, so you buy it at your own risk. Should parents, children, and other human beings come with that label too?"
May 9, 2021 - From Me to We –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
In a time of rampant individualism, caring for each other requires our attention and intention. What can we do to extend our circles of care -- both within this congregation and in our lives beyond LCUUC?
May 16, 2021 - Religious Education Sunday –Christine Rollins, Director of Religious Education
This service celebrates the completion of the Religious Education classes this year with special recognition of the many volunteers that are involved in making the program so wonderful here at LCUUC. Select youth from our congregation will be involved in the service and will share music. As a highlight during the service, we will also be celebrating our HS seniors’ last year in the program and join them as they complete their final rite of passage from youth to young adulthood during the Bridging Ceremony. Please join us as we celebrate the youth of LCUUC and the joy that they bring to our community and the world!
May 23, 2021 - Fragile and Rooted: Flower Communion –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Norbert's widow, the Rev. Maya Capek. In past years, attendees were invited to bring a flower to place on the altar during worship service. After the congregation and minister blessed the flowers, they were redistributed so that each person took home a different flower than the one they brought.
In this year of COVID, we invite you to participate in in Flower Communion through one of two ways:
The Annual Meeting will occur after the Flower Communion worship. All book-signed members are eligible to vote.
May 30, 2021 - Loved Into Being –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
Faith in Unitarian Universalism isn't just an intellectual exercise: it's "heart" work. This full-length worship experience will feature a sermon by UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, as well as vibrant music, storytelling, and other worship elements that will help us to grow in spirit, in courage, and in generosity.
