* May 4th – “Justice Sunday 2008: The cost of Iraq” Rev. Meghan Cefalu Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “A nation that continues, year a! er year, to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social upli! is approaching spiritual death.” This year marks the 40th anniversary of MLK’s assassination and the fifth anniversary of our nation’s invasion of Iraq. This morning we honor King’s legacy by bearing witness to the costs of the Iraq war and empowering one another to engage in our democracy. Worship Associate: Anita Wald-Tuttle* Please remember to bring non-perishable food contributions for the Interfaith Food Ministry on the first Sunday of the month. May 11th – “Mother’s Nature for the 21st Century” Rev. Tomas Lewis “Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all,” said Oliver Wendell Holmes. What is the calling of us to “mother” in families, society, the environment, and the wider world in this challenging 21st century? As pressures increase, what can we do as mothers, fathers, children and singles to take care of ourselves and sustain hope for generations to come. Come and think about traditional and unconventional ways all of us can “mother” now and in the future. The choir will sing. Worship Associate: Jennifer Dahlgren May 18th – “Flower Communion” Rev. Meghan Cefalu This ritual celebrating the beauty of diversity in community was created during World War II by Polish Unitarian minister Norbert Capek. People in Unitarian Universalist congregations all over the world look forward to this celebration each spring. Remember to bring a fl ower for every member of your family! Worship Associate: Gail Johnson Vaughan(Our annual congregational meeting follows this service. Members, please plan to attend.) May 25th – “Raise Your Hand if You Believe in God” Rev. Meghan Cefalu Belief or disbelief in God can appear on the outside to be a fairly uncomplicated determination. But when we scratch the surface of many seemingly simple things we are o! en surprised by profound complexity. We can each further explore our beliefs in this thought-provoking service.
