We gathered in nature with Rev. Dave Dunn, Mandi Winders, Alex Pietsch and the Chalice Choir to share our music, poetry, puffins, and plans to reconnect with Planet Earth. A NOTE ABOUT THE AUDIO: this is what might be thought of as a "sound verite" episode. It is what a condenser mic on a phone picked up, and the resulting edited version is something of a "salvage mission," where the voices compete with the surrounding participants. Including birds, dogs, people, etc. Alas, due to copyright considerations we cannot include the epic struggle to overcome a keyboard's dead battery, although a wee musical snippet survives near the end of the episode.

We honor our Senior Youth as they bridge to the big, scary world beyond. We also hear faith statements, welcome a new life into our congregation via a naming ceremony, recognize the contributions of a decades-long guiding force in the Our Whole Lives program, and way more than one could easily cram into an episode blurb.

Poet Mario Benedetti writes, “The future’s coming slowly but surely… slowly but swiftly, like a dim still unnamed star.”  In this service, we examine what this could mean for all of us, today.

We hear from members of the congregation about being mothers, having mothers, and not being mothers, through personal memoirs, poetry, and ad-libbing. (A note about the audio: we are continuing to have some throughput issues resulting in a reduction in quality.

Contrary to the service title, there will be very little "song" heard this week. An apparent issue with our Livestream bandwidth resulted in sub-par audio, and thus we are unable to bring you the sort of musical treat we experienced live in the Sanctuary. However, the newly-reassembled Chalice Choir, for the first time in two years, will light the chalice in song. And then: Alex explains how everyone has a place in the choir Dave explains why the first Sunday in May is a UU holiday And Michelle explains that our 50/50 recipient this month is the Khasi Hills UU Church in India: https://www.uua.org/location/asia/india/khasi-hills UUMAN is a welcoming congregation and we thank you for taking the time to get to know us a bit better.

Where we gather for an annual ritual created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia. We celebrate peace, beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community.

It is thought that the age of exploration is over; that all lands that can be known are known. We think we are at the apex of evolution and modernity and believe that exploration is a thing of the past. How can we usher in a new age of exploration?
