Sunday,
May 4, 2008 — 10 a.m. — “Ready
at Any Moment” — Rev. Robert F. Renjilian.
What if your life was an illusion of
sorts which hid possibilities of transformation? Would you be
ready at any moment to embrace a life which seemed more authentic?
Sunday, May 11, 2008 — 10 a.m. — “Mother Spirit” — Rev. Robert F.
Renjilian.
A recognition of Mother’s Day, and a
lifting up of mother images in Earth-based and other religious
traditions.
Sunday, May 18, 2008 — 10 a.m. — “The
Maelstrom” — Rev. Dr. Len DeRoche.
A malström/malstrøm (in the
Norwegian language) is a very powerful whirlpool found as a powerful
tidal current in the Lofoten Islands off the Norwegian coast. We may at
times feel that our lives, congregationally and individually, are stuck
in a whirlpool. I will tell the children Edgar Allan Poe’s story “A
Descent into the Maelstrom” (1841) and discuss it as an analogy to our
lives.
Rev. Dr. Len DeRoche resigned
in the fall after five years as minister in the Unitarian Universalist
Church of the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, PA. He served churches in
Charleston, WV and at Kingston, MA as a Pastoral
Counselor/psychotherapist and as a Chaplain at the University of
Chicago Hospital. His first career was as an USAF Officer where he flew
jets for about 12 years until he broke so many they sent him to
maintenance to fix them. He is living in Bethlehem, looking for
part-time ministry, and working for a Fortune 500 investment firm. He
and his family were members of the York congregation in the early 90’s.
Rev. Bob Renjilian is away leading the UUCY teenagers on their
Coming Of Age Heritage & Identity trip this weekend.
The Congregational Meeting follows the service today — your vote and
voice are needed!
