Fathers, Flowers, Farewell
In Bryant’s last time in the pulpit at The Fellowship, he’ll lead our traditional celebration of those who father us and of our green and blooming friends. He may well have a few parting thoughts and wishes too.
Speaker: Rev. Bryant Brown
LifeSpan Faith Development Celebration Sunday
Join Rev. Bryant Brown and our Director of Lifespan Faith Development, Lizzie Vena, as we celebrate another great year of programming at TPUUF. We will unveil the artwork of our young people as we kick off our annual Art Show. We will share highlights from our Children’s Faith Development and Youth Group programs as well as Adult Faith Development. As our program year winds down, it is time to recognize and thank our fabulous volunteers as well. This is also a time to celebrate and reflect on our individual and collective journeys of faith development. It’s a very UU question: What do you believe? Some think it’s anything they want to. Or is it what you have to? Rev. Bryant Brown will explore these questions.
Gilead
You’ve heard of “balm in Gilead”? Let’s look at various kinds of healing we need and we offer. And the Welcoming Congregation Team will present the Matthew Shepard Award as we begin LGBTQ Pride Month.
Send in the Clowns
The court jester’s role has long been a part of political life. Comedians remain an important part of our world, and can be a prickly reminder of how else we can choose to be, as well as giving us some less-obvious tools to bring about change.
Families
On this Mother’s Day, in addition to our celebration of the ones who mother us, let’s look at families and how words and actions show how important are they to us.
Seeger Sunday
The obstreperous Pete Seeger and other Unitarian Universalist troubadours will be much of the music we’ll share at this annual celebration. And, we’ll all welcome new members and be part of a child dedication! While we’re at it, let’s look at the symbolism attached to that happy ceremony.
Show Me The Budget
On this traditional Tax Day we’ll consider what a budget, income and spending and who pays, say about us, a family, an organization, a nation.
Two Adams
The Hebrew Bible gives two contrasting versions of the first human. We have inherited at least two, sometimes-competing natures; surely worth our reflection.
Yeasty
Ever baked bread? It’s about rising and rising again; a timely topic for this Easter gathering.
Joseph and Jubilee
Perhaps there are lessons in a pharaoh’s dream of seven years of business, business, business as usual followed by seven years of famine – lessons for individuals and for nations.
