March 30, 10:30 am: “A Theology of Trophic Cascades”
Rev. Monica Jacobson-Tennessen
Following our March theme of “emergence,” we’ll look at a specific form known as the trophic cascade. Ecology teaches us that one change in an ecosystem creates many more and bigger changes that ripple out, as all the parts of the ecosystem affect each other. What does this offer to us to help our understandings of ourselves and the changes that happen in us and which we can make?
April services
April 6, 10:30 am: “What’s your ecological niche?: A Brunch Church”
Regina McConaghy and others
It’s a message, a meal, and a chance to connect in community as you nourish your body and spirit. It takes many kinds of labor to bring about social change as we work together to build beloved community. Join us as we explore Deepa Iyer’s The Social Change EcoSystem Framework and celebrate the many ways each of us might choose to “bless this world.” We’ll be sharing several mindful bites during the course of this worship with a full-on potluck brunch directly after. This service will be available only in person: No Zoom.
April 13, 10:30 am: “Those who inspired us”
Matt Smith and others
While we pay homage to the great leaders and thinkers and honor their teachings and examples, the greatest impact on our lives comes not from these renowned individuals but from the ordinary people in our lives. Parents, teachers, family members, friends and even total strangers often unknowingly provide us with insights and examples that become parts of our guiding star. Today we honor the people in our lives and four church members share stories of those who inspired them.
April 20, 10:30 am: “Easter: Practice Resurrection”
Rev. Monica Jacobson-Tennessen and the CUUC Choir
Easter is a bringing together of the Christian tradition’s story of resurrection, or the return of what seemed to have been ended, and the ancient practices of marveling at and celebrating spring’s renewal each year. In our time, and in many times, it has been a reminder that there is something more that persists through and beyond all human efforts to subdue or suppress it. Come drink once more from the well of wisdom and inspiration that these stories offer us now.
April 27, 10:30 am: “What can we learn from our cousins, the trees?”
Joan Gray
Three hundred and ninety million years ago, the trees began their life on earth. Humans (of the present iteration) have been around for about three hundred thousand years. Our forms are different, but there is much we can yet learn from our cousins, the trees.
