Interdependence is the state of being interconnected with others. More specifically\, it is a situation in which two or more people depend on or affect each other such that the actions of one will influence the other. We’re also interdependent with nature. \nThis concept has far-reaching implications for our individual and collective well-being. Join us as we discuss the characteristics of interdependence and the advantages of being interdependent. This knowledge can help us create more supportive and cooperative relationships that benefit everyone and everything involved. Our service will be led by Linda Rich.

It’s the most powerful tool we have to navigate our world\, especially when our world is dangerously divided along political lines. “If you can’t be curious across divides in a polarized world\,” she says\, “you can’t see the world at all.” \nMónica shares examples of curiosity-driven conversations that make it possible for even the most opposed liberals and conservatives to see and hear one another\, despite the misperceptions from their news feeds. With simple\, powerful questions she herself has used in countless treks across the divide\, Mónica shows us how having critical conversations with people – instead of about them – changes everything. And how taking the first steps toward understanding the views that most confound us isn’t just possible\, it’s easier than you think. \nMónica is Director of Digital Storytelling at Braver Angels\, the nation?s largest grassroots\, cross-partisan organization dedicated to bridging the political divide. Brian Warren will lead our discussion.

It is a constant willingness to self challenge\, and to look at where we might be wrong\, or limited; even with regard to pluralism itself. It requires a capacity to detach ourselves from our agendas\, our beliefs\, our commitments\, and to recognize that there may be other ways. And it also requires us to recognize that we can never wholly achieve that. \nIn this service on Mother’s Day\, we will look at the many different ways that we have been influenced by our mothers. And since it is also flower Sunday\, we suggest that you bring a flower that reminds you of your mother and others in your life who have perhaps acted as a mother. We will also have the opportunity to share with the congregation our thoughts about the way that we have been influenced by our mothers and by others who mothered us.

By allowing our lives to mimic the cycles of nature we are reminded that no matter what happens to us there are always opportunities to shift a situation\, to optimize our chances\, and/or to start all over. \nWe’ll discuss ways to help you regroup\, reprioritize\, renew\, and perhaps\, re-invent yourself. Many of these are actual things you can do\, while others are ways to “re-think” who you are and what you want to be.

The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work\, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.” –Thomas Merton \nThis Sunday we will look at the importance of Renewal and we will have a presentation by David Rivera about his Renewal project\, The Hood Squad.

DESCRIPTION:We’ll watch a video recording of an Oberlin UU service offered by Rev. Mary and Ryan Mincey based on the cartoon series\, The Last Airbender. In the series the missing and long-awaited Avatar\, master of all four elements\, is found at the brink of the Fire Nation conquering the world at the tail end of a century long war. Avatar Aang can only stop this potential global disaster by collaborating with others from the Water Tribe\, the Earth Kingdom\, and yes\, even the Fire nation\, bringing the world back into balance and peace. Aang starts his journey being a master of air bending\, but as his companion Katara shares\, “he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.” \nChildren are always welcome\, but during the summer there will be no Religious Education classes or child care provided. Activity kits will be available to use for children accompanying their family. \nFollowing the service – please join Mary Palmieri for our intergenerational drum circle!

Mary and Ryan Mincey. In season three of The Last Airbender\, Aang seeks to master the elements and ultimately bring balance to the world. Aang faces internal and external challenges\, and his journey reflects the cyclical nature of renewal. The theme of renewal is also shown through the personal growth and transformation of other characters including Zuko and Uncle Iroh\, whose relationship is shattered and then rebuilt\, mirroring the theme of renewal on both a societal and individual level. Join us for this service exploring the idea of forgiveness\, redemption\, and the potential for a new beginning.

Ours is a spiritually open and justice-centered tradition for keeping faith with Life. Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering on specific beliefs\, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person and respect for the interdependent web of life. \nOur services explore the search for meaning\, ethical and moral issues of our time (e.g.\, racial justice\, LGBTQ rights\, economic inequality)\, living a good life\, spiritual growth and self-awareness\, emotional intelligence\, connecting in community\, creating authentic relationships; we draw wisdom from world religions and from secular society. \nWe welcome you…and everyone\, regardless of age or ability\, gender or race\, ethnicity or national origin\, sexual orientation or gender expression\, and financial circumstances.
