OMG, the Internet

Rin Overturf

Join us on November 9th at 10:30 am. OMG, the internet.  Online discourse, in all its absurdities and rancor, is a powerful force shaping our politics, our society, our relationships, and our selves.  How do we make collective meaning and find truth amid an information ecosystem flooded with the output of generative artificial intelligence?

We warmly invite you to join us in person, or if you prefer, you can also participate online. We look forward to seeing you there! 

Our service streams to Youtube and Zoom (meeting ID is 466-677-668 and the password is 454623).

Join us for coffee in the Community Room after the service.

Families, we encourage you to practice this song at home with your children as we will sing it on that day. Youth are encouraged to come and hang out in the teen space on November 2 and 9. We hope to see you there!

Contemplative Practices for Contemporary People

(Thanks to Michael DeSantis for the post) 

We live in frenzied times. There are so many competing demands on our time and attention. How might we be able to find grounding amidst it all? This 5-session class —led by our Ministerial Resident Michael DeSantis—will explore several contemplative spiritual practices that generations of practitioners have used to cultivate grounding, wholeness, and meaning.

Practices covered will include centering prayer, lectio divina, and metta/loving-kindness meditation. Each session will introduce participants to a contemplative practice and how it might fit into a UU worldview. Participants will also be encouraged to regularly engage with each practice between meetings. All are welcome, from meditators with decades of experience to newcomers who have never heard of contemplative spirituality, but you must pre-register here by Wednesday, November 5th.

Class will be on Thursdays from 7-9 pm on November 6, 13, 20, December 4 and 11th in the Chapel.
