Labor of Love - Annual Church Work Party

     This is Labor Day weekend, so do join us at our 40th & Donald church. Many hands make light work, but the real benefit is getting to know other UUs as you work with them one on one. Come enjoy the day with old friends and make new ones. Stay the whole time or drop in for as long as you can. All are invited to help spruce up our building and grounds for the beginning of our new church year!  It's amazing what we can accomplish in a few hours! There will be all kinds of projects, so it won't be hard to find one that suits your preferences and abilities. Appropriate jobs will be available for everyone, including kids 6 and older. There will be grounds cleanup and other outdoor projects, or you can choose inside work, clean-up and polishing. R.E. needs help with their projects, too.  Childcare will be available for kids 5 and younger. If your specialty is feeding people, bring your favorite food, because we will reward yourselves with a potluck at high noon.

       **** We change now to two services on Sunday mornings, including childcare and
       children's religious education during each service.


September 12th at 9am & 11am
Gathering the Waters

Green Sanctuary and Candee Cole, DRE;

     We begin the church year with the water communion, a Unitarian Universalist ritual of collecting waters from the sacred -- or at least special -- places in people's lives. Bring a small sample of water from a place of meaning for you, and we'll bless this water for use at rites of passage throughout the year, such as baby blessings.


September 19th at 9am & 11am
Crossroads

Rev. Alicia Forsey

     The focus of this morning's sermon is on how we make decisions as we go through our lives -- decisions that are related to our well-being and are in keeping with our values as well as our highest aspirations. What are the risks? And, in what way do we relate our Unitarian Universalist tradition to seeking the path that will keep us committed to moral courage and high resolve? At the Unitarian Universalist Church of Eugene, how is the congregation as a whole at a very important crossroad in the life of the church?


September 26th at 9am & 11am
Change

Rev. Alicia Forsey

     This morning the sermon is about change. Why is change difficult? Any change, large or small, positive, negative or somewhere in-between, requires us to adjust in some way. The Buddhist practice of non-attachment is a wise teacher, even if we can't (or don't care to) perfect the discipline. Are we open to being vulnerable? To letting go of some of our strongly held ideas about how things ought to be? How about patterns of negative behavior that have kept us in a "stuck" place for too long? As the congregation as a whole changes, so do the individuals that constitute the congregation.
