May 3 Did Jesus Die for Our Sins?

given by the Rev. T. Richard Snyder

 

Dick will explore how Christian doctrine and our nation’s appetite for

punishment are linked. Is punishment healthy or even necessary?

 

 

May 10 Feeding the Least

given by Marie Malin

 

Spiritual leaders of all traditions call us to take care of one another, especially

those who are hungry, sick, lonely, or suffering in any way. What

we sometimes forget is that by reaching out to those in need, we reach out

to our own spirits. By “feeding the least,” we ourselves are fed. Marie

Malin is a student at Bangor Theological Seminary, seeks ordination in the

united Church of Christ and delights “this crazy thing called life.”

 

 

May 17 What Are Old People For?

given by the Rev. Katharine Hope Winthrop

 

Kitsy will share a deepening understanding of the needs of elders and our

society’s need of what elders have to offer. What she is learning and relearning

in this vein is, she says, “critical to our becoming wiser as, together,

we continue to ‘take our world in for repairs.’” Kitsy has served

eight congregations--including UU-Belfast in 1996-98--since moving to

Portland 14 years ago.

 

 

May 24 Where Did She Go?

given by Coleen O’Connell

 

When our loved ones pass, where do they go? In the spirit of UU questioning

and search for our own truths, on this Memorial Day weekend we

will explore how it is that our loved ones are present for us in this world.

 

 

May 31 In This Moment

given by Judith Simpson

 

Later today we will celebrate Pam’s ordination, but we begin this Sunday

with some special quiet. Slowing down and giving time to mindfulness is

one way we can minister to ourselves and become more available to others,

as well. Come and settle--at least for one morning--into a practice of

choosing to be in the present moment, on purpose and without judgment.

 

 

June 7 Stirring Up Minds

given by Danielle Bannister and the Life Span Education Committee

 

According to William Ellery Channing, “The great end in religious

instruction is not to stamp our minds upon the young, but to stir up their

own.” How does our RE program live up to this statement? How can we

make it stronger?
