What Makes Us Happy?

Sunday Service - January 3, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music by Resonance

There seems to be a cultural disconnect between the many suggested paths to happiness and our resulting “happiness quotient”. It is said that money can’t buy love...or happiness...so where do we get it?

Living with Amazement

Sunday Service - December 20, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

The holiday season is upon us…dowsing us with images and messages meant to amaze, but which can overwhelm and deaden our senses. How can we keep our ability to be amazed intact and alive? How might honouring the Winter Solstice help us?

Standing on the Side of Love

Sunday Service - November 29, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music by Beau Dixon

The Unitarian Universalist Association has recently begun a powerful social justice campaign of this name, a campaign that calls us to act with love as a corrective to intolerance wherever we see it.  We can be a part of this corrective...but how?

Local musician Beau Dixon will share his music with us.

Living with Commitment

Sunday Service - November 22, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Today we celebrate the 100th birthday of Lotta Hitschmanova and honour her memory by considering our personal commitment to that which is of most importance to us.  Are we willing to go out onto any limbs?  Or make any sacrifices?  

Living Imaginatively

Sunday Service - November 8, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

On this, the morning of our annual Art Show and Sale, we’ll look at the blurring boundaries between art and religion.  How is imagination similar to the religious impulse?  What meaning do we find in art?

Illness and Spirituality

Sunday Service - October 25, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

What’s the connection between our physical health and our spiritual health? Are they necessarily connected? What happens to our spirit when we are ill? Rev. Julie will speak of her personal experience with cancer.

Living Generously

Sunday Service - October 18, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music by The Occasional Singers

It’s time for the annual financial canvass, and like in so many places in your life, you’re being asked to contribute. But here, in religious community, it’s not really about the money. So, what’s generosity all about?

Service will be followed by a light luncheon ($2 suggested) and a presentation from the finance committee about the realities of our budget.
