Co-Ministers’ Colloquy: April 9th

Hello, dear UUSS community-

It is really happening… elusive Spring is on the way! Trees are budding, crocus are blooming, robins are singing, and green is returning. We walked to work this morning, for the first time in a while, and Ernie Hall, from the Building and Grounds Team, is out working in the gardens. (He’d welcome company, if you are interested in gardening!) Earlier this week folks were riding their bikes to meetings, and sharing of other outdoor adventures in the sun and the spring rain.

How is the Earth calling to you? This past Sunday’s joint service with 5 area UU congregations included a mix of grief for all that is lost and that is in harms way, a call to act, and some tangible things to DO that are reasons for hope. It was really wonderful to have so many folks from UUSS in attendance… and big thanks to all who participated and volunteered!

At our gathering yesterday with residents of the Glen Eddy, we heard about all the plastic that is used there, and how they would like to organize and ask for some different options. How might you change what you are doing to make a difference? As we sang on Sunday, “We are called as Keepers of the Earth. We are called to speak its sacred worth. For our children and our children’s children, we are called as Keepers of the Earth.”

In faith~ Rev. Lynn and Rev. Wendy
