How can we make the practice of moving forward positively functional and sustainable? How do we orient to expansion when so much of life encourages contraction? This is the fourth and final sermon in Heather Petit's sermon series on practical spiritual practices for these times.
Playing in a pandemic may seem challenging, or even a little inappropriate. But playing is an important way to take care of ourselves and each-other. This is the third sermon in Heather Petit's four-sermon series on spiritual practices for these times.
Evangelism is sharing the good news. Pre-evangelism is sharing the good news (Unitarian Universalism) without having to explain what the good news is.
Rev. Dave Hunter and his wife, the Rev. Kerry Mueller, are officially retired Unitarian Universalist ministers, now serving as co-consulting ministers for the UU Fellowship of Pottstown.
Living amidst a pandemic invites all of us to consider matters of life and death. At memorial services we often hear the refrain,
“…losing our loved one reminds us to make the most of every day we are alive.”
In the present time, people are making many big changes in their lives (see the great resignation of jobs). Whether a person thinks they have decades left to live or only a few short months – the fact that we are all going to die can challenge each and every one of us to adopt the best possible approach to living.
Sermon 1 of 4 in a series of spiritual practice for these times, on the spiritual practice of lamentation, and how to approach it practically when we don't have space and energy for a single big outpouring. Psalm 22 as the reading.
