For Earth and
Community: Celebrating our Green Sanctuary
Led by Reverend Katherine Jesch
Rev. Jesch will
reflect on how our faith can help us to maintain hope in a healthy future
while we work to counteract the threats and strive for justice that includes
all of life on Earth. The service will be one of celebration as our congregation
receives Green Sanctuary certification from Rev. Jesch, Director of
Environmental Ministry for the 7th Principle Project and coordinator of The
Green Sanctuary Program.

On Making All
Things New
Led by our minister, Pam Gross
New babies, new
members, new lambs, growth-’tis the season. A service about fresh starts
and beginnings, with all the accompanying joy and messiness. As a community
which supports spiritual growth, we will celebrate renewal with a Maple
Syrup Communion. New Members are welcomed today.

Moral Courage
Led by Reverend Kitsy Winthrop
Please don’t let
this “uncatchy” title mislead you; what I have discovered very recently–or
perhaps rediscovered–about this subject has been transformative in my life.
I can only hope what I’ve learned will make a difference in yours–and, if
so, then perhaps a difference in the world. (Kitsy was our quarter-time minister
in ‘96-’97, then served us the next year as the off-site supervisor of our
ministerial intern. Though Kitsy now serves the Midcoast UU Fellowship (Edgecomb)
and the UU Church in Saint John, NB, Canada, the Belfast UU congregation
remains dear to her heart.
