Upcoming Worship Services
April 26 Nurturing Harmony
Monmouth Center for World Religions and Ethical Thought (MCWRET)
The opening to spiritual awakening occurs with human experiences of love, which is our human experience of harmony/resonance within our fundamental nature, consistent with the universal values of beauty, truth, and goodness. Nurturing harmony is the process of finding ways and methods to bring us back into harmony with the universe and with each other as fellow travelers. Promoting the essential oneness of humanity and learning ways to resolve natural differences and nurturing harmony are inherent goals of the MCWRET.

May 10 A Plea for Peace: The First Mother’s Day
Rev. Dr. Craig Rubano
Before the 1908 Anna Jarvis beginnings of what has become, since 1914, Mother’s Day, there was the original Mother’s Day Proclamation of 1870, uttered by abolitionist and Unitarian Julia Ward Howe as a protest against the brutality of war. We’ll take a page from Howe and center our multigenerational service both on the caretakers in our lives, and on peace.
