Simone Weil once wrote that “attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Join us for a service on the transformative gift of offering our attention to others. Led by Rev. Eric Severson. Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that we should not cross if we are to experience a sustainable future. Currently. we are surpassing seven of the nine boundaries, and returning within the boundaries will be much more challenging than it would have been never to surpass them. In this discourse I will explore how we might work together to end the world as we know it in order to create the world as it should be. Every day we’re surrounded by an endless stream of headlines, opinions, advertisements, algorithms, and certainty. How do we separate signal from noise? This lighthearted discourse explores the value of discernment, the importance of asking good questions, and the humility to challenge our own assumptions. Curiosity and careful inquiry can help us navigate an increasingly noisy world while continuing our search for truth and meaning. Join us on Sunday, August 30 for a special fifth Sunday service led by our Social Justice Team. Together we’ll reflect on the UU commitment to equality, justice, and civic engagement through worship, music, and shared conversation. During the service, we’ll participate in the UU the Vote program by writing nonpartisan postcards encouraging voter participation. Postcards, pens, scripts, and stamps will all be provided, making it easy for everyone to take part. After the service, all are invited to stay for a postcard party as we continue writing together in community. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful opportunity to put our values into action.
