April 6 Risky Business given by our minister,
Pam Gross The issues of race and gender
have been raised in our current political climate as cards to be played. Yet, if
race and gender are “cards,” what game are we playing? Our first
principle, “We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person,” calls
us to action in challenging oppressions. April 13 Epiphanies, Large
and Small given by the Rev.
Katharine Hope Winthrop The farmer/philosopher/poet
Wendell Berry has written, “And it came to me all in a feeling how everything
fitted together, the place and ourselves and the animals and the tools,
and how the sky held us.” Is there a one of us who has not experienced such
a feeling— if only briefly, if only once, perhaps in childhood? Kitsy
Winthrop says that honoring our revelatory moments—our epiphanies—is just
what we and the world need if we are to heal and be healed. (Kitsy is a
UU minister who serves both the Midcoast UU Fellowship in Edgecomb and
the UU Church in Saint John, New Brunswick. She served us back
when we were just beginning to grow, and our congregation remains one of
her favorites.) April 20 Earth
Day–Celebrating Our Universe given by the UU Green
Sanctuary Committee and our congregation Our universe has boundless
stories to tell, and we each have a place in them. This intergenerational,
improvisational service will celebrate our sacred connection to the cosmos and help us weave
a new narrative. April 27 Islam: Continuing
the Dialogue given by Wells
Staley-Mays and Dawud Ummah Building on last year’s beginning
conversation about Islam, two of its followers will expand our understanding
of Sufism and Shi’ism, the lasting influence of captive African
Muslims in the Americas, and the first Muslims in Maine. The congregation will
be encouraged to participate as Wells and Dawud challenge our stereotypes
of Muslim people and increase our knowledge of Islam. Dawud Ummah is the
Muslim chaplain at USM; Wells Staley-Mays, M.Div., became a
Muslim in 2000. Both work to build interfaith understanding and respect. May 4 Perfectly Imperfect given by our minister,
Pam Gross Consider how we may lovingly
embrace the messiness of who we are
