The Dream of We

As Unitarian Universalists, we long for a world in which all can live in freedom, authenticity, justice, and joy. And as human beings, none of us live in that world—not even close, although we may glimpse it from time to time. We often ponder how to bring this world closer to the longed-for Beloved Community—but what if we are asking the wrong question?

By Rev. Sarah Prickett

With music by Molli McMills and Willi B

Social, Economic and Environmental Justice Second Hour: David Shontz on Northwoods’ Inclusion Journey

Please join us this Sunday after the service in the Garden Room and our Zoom sanctuary for a presentation and conversation on Northwoods’ journey of inclusion. We’ll talk about how we came to adopt the 8th Principle (8thprincipleuu.org) as a Statement of Public Position for our congregation, and what the proposed Article II revisions (where the 7 Principles are stated) mean for us. (At noon in the Garden Room.)

Religious education classes resume this Sunday. Youth and teens will begin service in their classes. Children will start service in the sanctuary and be released to class after the time for all ages.

Class information:
- Chalice Children (2-3 years old) “My World Has Water” WE will learn how caring for earth’s water helps care for everyone and everything
- Spirit Play (PK-1st Grade) “Francis David” We will learn about a famous UU, Francis David who helped guide King Sigismund to allow religious freedom.
- Explorers (2nd-4th grades) “Love is Accepting” We will explore Jewish teachings “which tell us to love all others as we love ourselves,” as part of the fourth Source of Unitarian Universalism, through a story from Hebrew scripture.
- Coming of Age (5th-7th Grades) “Committing to the Needs of Others” We discussed how our sometimes the needs of others are greater than our needs and how working together can help meet everyone’s needs.
- Youth (8th-12th grades) “Youth Service Planning” everyone worked to find ways to connect with our topic and shared readings and poems.
Options for Younger Children
Children age 2-3 years of age can be dropped off in our childcare room for Chalice Children activities, or families can watch the service from the Family Room. Families are also welcome to keep young children at the front of the sanctuary in the Wee Worship.
