"Chasing Justice, No Matter Where the Path Leads?" Speaker James M. Thomas Sunday, September 15, 2024 James M. Thomas, or just JT, has lived in Oxford since 2012. He is an associate professor of sociology, and a writer. Most of his teaching and writing focuses on race, racism, and inequality. JT is active in the LOU community, having served on the boards of several nonprofits, including the United Way, LOU-Home, and the Jewish Federation of Oxford. He spends as much of his free time as he can with his wife, Afton, and their two children, Olive (13) and Noah (9). "Water Communion Service" Speaker Rev. Sarah Osborne Sunday, September 8, 2024 Ride the wave home to UUCO to welcome in the new program year, let us reflect upon our place and time in the world as the tide rises. This is our beloved annual Water Communion led by Rev. Sarah. Please remember to bring a small container of water from your home, travels, or special aquatic location to be blended in our communal bowl. Our blended waters are collected to bless the land and some will be saved for other special milestone rituals. Remember to bring a dish for our monthly potluck afterward. All are welcome! "Intergenerational Service" Speaker Wendy Pfrenger Sunday, September 1, 2024 Our first intergenerational service, hosted Sunday, September 1, will be “Why Play?” Children ages 1 – 105 should come prepared to play, to ponder, and to play some more in this interactive, thoughtful service. Youth are encouraged to stay after the service to help in planning events for the coming year. "The Power of Religious Literacy" Speaker Rev. Gail Tapscott Sunday, August 18, 2024 Rev. Gail Tapscott who has been a professor of World Religions as well as a Unitarian Universalist minister will attempt to convince us that as religious liberals we owe it to ourselves to acquire at least a modicum of awareness of other religious communities world wide. In particular we need to become better informed about the many faces of Christianity that have had such an impact on American culture over the past several decades. "Love at the Center" Speaker Rev. Sarah Osborne Sunday, August 11, 2024 Is love at the center of all we do? The recently revised and adopted language for the Article II bylaws of the Unitarian Universalist Association gives congregations a clear articulation of our held values with love at the center. Let’s explore what love looks like in action for our faith community. Join Rev. Sarah Osborne this Sunday for a service with a special blessing of love. Stay afterwards for our monthly potluck. All are welcome. |
