It’s time again for our annual tradition of questions and answers. Inspired by a funny 2016 Harvard Graduate School of Education commencement speech, we’ll explore the power of good questions. Rev. Christina will do her best to answer as many of your submitted questions as possible, so come ready to ask.

When we think of flourishing, we often think of doing things, making progress, or success! This Sunday we will draw wisdom from the Nap Ministry and find ways to stop, rest, and relax as a form of flourishing.

This is the first half of a two-part sermon series exploring the 4th UU principle– this half will explore what it means to be free and responsible. We will particularly examine the phenomenon that has been dubbed “Cancel Culture,” the good and the bad, and how our principles call us to this balancing act.

Reflection About Stoicism by Jon Reopelle
This Easter Sunday we will reflect both on the Christian Easter narrative as well as ancient and modern Stoic philosophy– how do we balance being alive and having to die? This service topic was selected by auction winner Jon Reopelle. Shortly after his auction win, Jon was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We will honor Jon’s sermon topic choice as well as his powerful journey with life and death.

This week is Charles Darwin’s 212th birthday. His theory of evolution by natural selection often gets a bad rap (competition and survival of the fittest and all that) but let’s explore what the miracle of evolution can teach us about flexibility and adaptation, gifts from our evolutionary ancestors that can still serve us today.

Sermon by Rev. Christina Leone-Tracy
The most stable structures have a little flexibility and “give,” allowing them to bend in the face of pressure rather than breaking. How can we grow this flexibility in ourselves without giving up strong stances? How can we practice resilience with gentleness? Notice: mild language
