Upcoming Worship Services
August 16 A UU History of Courage
Patricia Hennigan, guest speaker
We come from a lineage of theological radicals, heretics, and advocates for social change. It’s a long history of innovative thinking and struggling for religious tolerance, individual conscience and social justice. We have a right to be proud of our history, and some of it we need to grapple with. Today, we will think about how our history, successes and failures, can encourage us in the present political moment.
Music: Evan Schwartzman, guest musician; Joel DeWitt

August 30 Do You See What I See?
Rev. Charlie Dieterich, guest minister
I’ve been re-reading the chapter called “The Way of Social Action,” which I found in How Can I Help?, a book by Ram Dass and Paul Gorman. How do we keep alignment with the bigger goals of love and social change when our egos try so hard to distract us? Social change requires training and attention. Be prepared for another episode of “Charlie’s Learn-by-Doing Theater!”
Music: Michael Rosin
The Rev. Charlie Dieterich is a retired UU minister living in Kingston, a village on a canal south of New Brunswick, NJ.
