Theology and Potlucks Rev. Julie Brock, Minister of Worship Alex Meyers, Worship Leader; Amy Rebant, Guest Pianist Rev. Julie Brock has a theory that the theology of relgious traditions are represented in the food they bring to potlucks. You can tell a lot about the values and culture of a place based on the food that shows up at the church picnic. Unitarina Universalists have some of the most eclectic potlucks around. It didn't happen that way by accident. Sunday, October 15 @ 10:30 am Joint Worship Service at NWUU From Lumber Barons to Litrgists Rev. Julie Brock, Minister of Worship Todd Ballou, Music Director at 1st UU Detroit Kathy Henry, Worship Leader Many of the UU churches in Michigan have a shared heritage, and all those in the United States do. In exploring where we come from, we allow ourselves to see the hopes and mistakes of our forebeares. May we carry on the hopes and learn from the mistakes. Sunday, October 22 @ 10:30 am Nurturing The Liberative Ministries Pastor Joshua Berg, Guest Speaker Tom Ott, Worship Leader; Alex Meyers, Guest Pianist As a progressive progressive faith, we can only hope that our radical movements that center love and fight for liberation, will succeed. Today, as motivation to keep believing that the work we do matters, radical change can happen, and that sometimes the most important movements are born from the least likely of origins, we will talk about some of Unitarianism's most unlikely, yet most important change-makers: The Iowa Sisterhood. Sunday, October 29 @ 10:30 am Joint Worship Service at 1st UU Detroit Honoring Our Ancestors Rev. Julie Brock, Minister of Worship Todd Ballou, Music Director at 1st UU Detroit The October/November threshold is recognized in many cultures as the time in the year when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead becomes thinnest. Altars are built, bonfires are lit, and our ancestors are honored. Come build our collective ancestor altar at 1st UU by bringing in a memento or photograph of an ancestor you cherish. This may be someone in your bloodline, from your culture or heritage, or a person from a place or a tradition you belong to. You will get your mementos back at the end of the service.
