SUNDAY SERVICES THIS MONTH

MARCH 7

Integration.  Sermon by Rev. Sally White. 

In his memoir, In Between, the Rev, Mark Morrison-Reed tells the story of being raised as one of a few Afro-Americans in the two most important institutions of his childhood, his Unitarian Universalist church and his school. Focusing on his lifelong “spiritual quest for integration,” he writes openly about his struggle to find his calling as his world came apart in the “either-or era of Black Power.” Morrison-
Reed uses story and an open heart to help find integration in our communities, in our denomination, and
within ourselves. “Integration is inevitable,” he writes. “There is no other way. Never was and never will be.”

Mark Morrison-Reed will be the keynote speaker at our Eastern North Carolina UU Congregations cluster meeting in Greenville, NC on March 20. This morning I will introduce you to his book, and encourage you to join me in hearing him speak at the cluster meeting.

MARCH 14

Gratitude.  Sermon by Rev. Sally White.

Encompassing awareness, interconnection, appreciation, humility and relationship, the cultivation of gratitude is a spiritual practice, and the expression of gratitude is a spiritual discipline. On this closing day of this year’s annual canvass, let us pause for a time, let us consider the spiritual power of gratitude, and let us say “thank you,” each in our own ways.

MARCH 21

The Four Directions.  Sermon by Rev. Sally White

Taking from Native American and Pagan traditions, we'll move “outside of the box” and around the circle, looking at the four directions, the four elements, and animal totems.

MARCH 28

Passover.  Sermon by Rev. Sally White

The great Jewish springtime celebration of liberation from slavery in Egypt and freedom from oppression begins at sundown on Monday, March 29. This morning we, too, will consider the price and the blessings of freedom and the ways in which ritual and storytelling keep ancient lessons alive in our hearts and minds. Our service will prepare us for the Passover Seder meal and service that we will celebrate here on Monday evening.
