Gathering In with Meredith

Universalism and Labor Day
jeudi 5 septembre 2024 • Duration 22:10

Railcar magnate George Pullman was a Universalist, born and bred. He had a certain recognizable Universalist idealism – but it went horribly, instructively, awry. As a result, we have Labor Day.
Hearing the Secret in Our Hearts with Rev. Eishin Tom Houghton
jeudi 4 juillet 2024 • Duration 19:44
The picture is called "Enso." This image has been associated with the Zen tradition and represents what can be described as "the mind before thought," "the awareness that exists behind thought," or, in my particular case, "the secret in our hearts."

Nothing New Under the Sun
Season 3 · Episode 1
jeudi 23 juin 2022 • Duration 13:13
The Summer Solstice reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Our lives are full of their own particularities, but we play them out on a greater cosmic stage. The seasons change, the sun moves up and down across the horizon, and we can always situate ourselves in a greater order of things, no matter what joys,
sorrows, or conflicts we encounter along the way. Join us in considering how the constants of our lives can anchor us among the change.

Pentecost and an Ethic of Risk
Season 2 · Episode 38
jeudi 9 juin 2022 • Duration 12:12
As Unitarian Universalists we are not often crowned with holy fire and sent out into the world. Or maybe we are. Join Rev. Amy Shaw in a service which examines the fire that sends us into the world, and the ethic which fuels it.
Green Rolling Hills: A Flower Communion
Season 2 · Episode 38
mercredi 1 juin 2022 • Duration 09:56
We are one church and together we grow, through joy and sadness. We bring ourselves freely to this community, and we take away those things which help us on our life journey. Flower Communion is a symbol of that relationship and covenant, and we invite all to join us in celebrating our free church. We encourage each person to bring a small live potted plant (herbs, vegetables, flowers, or anything else growing which represents what you bring to our community) to add to the communion- at the end of the service everyone can choose a plant to take home with them. If you can’t bring a plant, please come, and join in anyway- there will be enough for everyone to participate!
Skin Deep and Soul Empty: Finding Depth in a Shallow Culture
Season 2 · Episode 37

American culture tells us that appearance is important. How do we move beyond the surface of life and focus on the things that matter most? Join Rev. Amy Shaw for this service about the life-long search for personal and religious depth and meaning in a culture where race, handicapped status, weight, and adherence to conventional beauty standards all impact us.
