"The Gift of Failure" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
17/12/2018 Duração: 18minAs we conclude our Gift of the Dark Woods series, we will consider the story of Peter’s failure as a primary spiritual gift. Peter’s story so parallels our own failures, fears, and missteps. Even towards the end, Peter fails to keep his promise to Jesus, denying any association with him three times when the going got rough. But again it is this utter failure that will guide and strengthen him for what came next. It was Peter who helped the church build and expand to include others considered “other” or “unworthy.” Where do we go from here? So too our failures beckon us into extraordinary life.

"The Gift of Getting Lost" by Rev. Kayla Parker
10/12/2018 Duração: 21minThe path of life is rarely clear or straight-forward. We find ourselves lost in a Dark Wood, unclear which direction to go, perhaps having strayed from the path we thought we were on. It is at these times that the gift of getting lost is that we begin to pay more attention than we usually do. Perhaps we are looking for blatant signs when the subtle nudges from the Universe are already right there.

"The Gift of Temptation" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
03/12/2018 Duração: 19minThe idea of temptation may conjure remembrances of small or significant longings. But instead, this week we will explore the temptation we face to live by the “shoulds” dictated only by logic, outside expectations, or shiny “rewards” instead of follow-ing the path our intuition and imagination suggest is right for us—the path that helps us bring the best of our energy and joy to the world.

"The Gift of Thunderstruck" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
19/11/2018 Duração: 24minAncient civilizations and religions all metaphorically describe the voice of the divine coming through thunder and lightning. We often describe experiences of insight as a “sudden flash,” “seeing the light,” or “rocked my world.” The storms of life can make way for moments of insight that can offer us direction. Rev. Anastassia preaching.
-
"The Gift of Uncertainty" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
14/11/2018 Duração: 20minWhen we allow ourselves to accept the journey within the Dark Woods, the resiliency of the human spirit tends to shake things up a bit as we begin to awaken to nudgings toward a fuller life. But life is messy. Life is uncertain. Rather than a problem to be solved, what if we saw uncertainty as a gift helping us let go of all we cannot know so that we can live more wholeheartedly? Rev. Anastassia preaching; Greg Sanders on piano.

"Our Trinity of Errors," and "Practices of the Beloved Community," by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
31/10/2018 Duração: 26minThe Rev. Dr. Fred Muir speaks about how UU churches have gone astray by practicing a “trinity of errors,” and how we need new practices to have a vital ecclesiology that allows the church to be vibrant in our personal and collective lives. What core understandings can we take away from Muir’s message for our own practices of church? Rev. Anastassia preaching.

“Church: Lessons on Being Human” by Rev. Kayla Parker
22/10/2018 Duração: 19minChurch is where we learn what it is to be human. It is the place where we return to our most basic feelings and longings, our most true essence. It is the place where we are pulled into our most complex challenges of living together in community. In what ways can you more fully grow into your humanness?
-
“Church and State” by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
19/10/2018 Duração: 19minThough our constitution prohibits our governments interfering with or promoting religious beliefs or practices, our religious expressions have always influenced our civic sphere. In this time when the bonds of our society are fraying, how might the practice of our congregational democracy be just the balm needed?
-
"The Lark" by All Souls Choir
08/10/2018 Duração: 13minAll Souls choir celebrates the 100th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein's birthday with a performance of The Lark.

The play examines themes of courage, resistance, sense of self, and fire of commitment.
-
"Dance as Spiritual Practice" by Sandy Reiberg
01/10/2018 Duração: 14minWe hear music that lifts our spirits and enhances the messages we hear from the pulpit every week, but why do we rarely see dance in church, or associate it with being spiritual? Sandy Reiberg (pictured), former dancer with the Ballet Theater of the Virgin Islands and local dance teacher, describes the historical connections between dance and religion and how it can enhance what we do to enrich our own spirits.
-
"A Different Kind of Dance" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
24/09/2018 Duração: 22minCultures around the world are marked and differentiated by different dances, which help us to remember our traditions, culture, and our duties to ourselves and others. We can sometimes see this more clearly when we explore beyond our original culture, as Wole Soyinka's "Death and the King's Huntmen" allows us to do.
-
"Dare to Dance" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke
17/09/2018 Duração: 16minThe theme of our sabbatical period with Rev. Anastassia was "Dance,” and its purpose was to allow us mutually, as minister and congregation, to discover and practice a new “dance” together. In this three-week worship series we will explore how congregational life and shared ministry is a dance. What are its patterns and rhythms? How do we partner, leading and taking cues? What emotions do we experience? What accompaniment do we need? How can we learn to move nimbly or quickly when needed, and ultimately ensure that we are enjoying the dance in the process?
