Replacing Fear with Love
given by the Rev.
Jill Saxby
Jill Saxby, our first minister, is executive director of the Maine
Council of Churches, a working partnership of eight denominations “to build
a culture of justice, compassion, and peace” in our state. The council,
which includes Unitarian Universalists, has programs that promote
restorative, economic, and environmental justice. Come welcome Jill and Ed
Saxby back to hear her perspective
on what churches can best accomplish by working together.
After the service, Jill will make a Powerpoint presentation about
Maine Council of Churches projects. If you know members of other churches
who might be interested in seeing this, please ask them to join us at
11:30.

It’s Just Money...or Money Justice
given by our
minister, Pam Gross
What we do or don’t do with our money, individually and
collectively, says much about our
principles of faith and our ideas about justice. The words “value” and “worth” have so
many deep and varied meanings; how can we find a balance?

Mercy!
given by the Rev.
Kate Braestrup
Justice must be tempered by mercy--and yet the concept of mercy
is a troubling one to many UUs. What's our problem, and how do we get
beyond it as we work for a just world? (Kate, a frequent guest speaker at
our church, is the Maine Warden Service's chaplain.)

Restorative Justice: A Vision for Change
given by members
of our Social Justice Committee.
Today, on Social Justice Sunday, we will join UUs nationwide in
support of human rights and economic justice for all. Our service will
focus on restorative justice, a response to crime that emphasizes remorse,
forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation rather than punishment and shame.

“Have It Your Way”
given by our
minister, Pam Gross
Some have seen Unitarian Universalism as a drive-through
religion, a fast-food fix for people in a hurry, while others find that it
is a veritable feast for the soul. So what exactly are we serving here?
