Upcoming Worship Services
January 11 It’s a Balance
Drake Baer, guest speaker
We’ll explore Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a metaphor for her experience as the daughter of Unitarian Mary Wollstonecraft, the renowned “mother of first wave feminism” and member of the Newington Green Unitarian Chapel, and William Godwin, one of Europe’s most famous atheists and radical intellectuals of the late 1700s/early 1800s. Using The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Drake will remind us of both the heavy intellectual and lighter playful sources of our UU religious tradition.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director
January 18 Death of A King
Rev. Jennifer Kelleher, Guest Minister
Tavis Smiley’s book Death of A King explores the last year of Martin Luther King, Jr. life. He sought to answer the question, in that last year, what kind of man did King become? Smiley says King, “despite everything spoke his truth.” MLK, Jr. himself wrote, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” How is life asking you to end your silence?
Music: Brian Gilmore, guest pianist
Rev. Jennifer Kelleher joined UU Princeton as Assistant Minister in 2019 and has served UU congregations in New Jersey since 2010. A lifelong UU, Jennifer grew up in First Parish Church in Plymouth, MA. She is passionate about our faith and how it continues to transform her life.
