January 4 – THE CHALICE OF OUR BEING – Rev. Dr. Maureen
Killoran
It gets kindled every Sunday and readings often speak of “our flaming chalice.”
The chalice is widely considered the symbol of Unitarian Universalism.
What collective memories does the flaming chalice carry from our heritage?
And, more to the point, why should we, as UUs in Vero Beach in 2009, care?
*** PLEASE RETURN GUEST AT YOUR TABLE BOXES TODAY ***
January 11 – DREAMS OF A COMMON LANGUAGE – Rev. Dr. Maureen Killoran
Some conversations are harder than others. When congregations are in conflict,
or have a legacy of upheaval and/or pain, it is often hard to hear the deeper issues – the visions,
or the goals, or the Very Large Issues on which almost everyone agrees. Part of the job of an
interim minister is to listen, to mirror back what she has heard, and to offer a beginning of
analysis that the congregation may want to engage. Please come with open hearts and minds
and realize that, in complex situations, no one perspective
(including, or even especially, the minister’s) has a monopoly on being right.
*** SHARING OF SUSTENANCE SUNDAY ***
All are encouraged to bring food (or cash) for the Indian River Food Pantry,
diapers for HIV foster care babies, and new or gently used clothing, toys, and
books for the families of migrant farm workers.
January 18 – UNTIDY JUSTICE – Rev. Dr. Maureen Killoran
Tomorrow is the day we are asked to set aside to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today’s sermon looks at some of the difficult issues of Dr. King’s legacy, and what it means
when society takes a real social justice prophet and makes him into an icon or a saint.
We plan to welcome New Members into the fellowship of our community during the service.
Service will include musical selections from special guest pianist Robert Thomas.
January 25 – OWL CELEBRATION SUNDAY –
Join us as we celebrate the lifespan Our Whole Lives (OWL) ministry at the Fellowship.
This year we offered elementary OWL for the first time and graduated our fifth Teen OWL class.
Parents will share their reflections about this program, which recognizes sexuality as a healthy,
positive aspect of our lives from birth to adulthood. As Unitarian Universalist Association
President Rev. Bill Sinkford has said, "Providing full, free, and factual
sexuality education is a moral value." We celebrate the Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Vero Beach’s openness to offering OWL to our families
and the larger Vero Beach community.
