Allowing Wonder and Curiosity to Reinstate Health and Ease

This month the UU theme is healing, the presupposition here is that something is unhealthy or is in 

dis-ease.  Perhaps, the starting point is to explore a few questions.

  1. How do you turn pain into connection?

  2. How do you move beyond apology to repair?

  3. How do you accept what is verses what you want?

  4. How do you maneuver beyond judgements and imperfections to acceptance?

  5.  Do you agree with the statement: Without Judgment there is no need for forgiveness? 

Please join us for an insightful discussion of healing from a diversified perspective.

Beyond Categorical Thinking

Jacqui C. Williams

THINK OF A MINISTER. DON’T THINK OF AN ELEPHANT. Chances are, you thought of both. And distinct images perhaps came to mind. In terms of a minister, what images came to mind? Was it a person of a particular gender, race, or age? Beyond Categorical Thinking is a highly recommended part of the search process for our congregation. In finding the person who would be the best match for our minister, we could potentially overlook or even let biases keep us from knowing that a particular person would be the best match for us.

​

Sponsored by CUUB's Ministerial Search Team, the Beyond Categorical Thinking workshop on Saturday, December 5th followed by this Sunday Service will help us find the best match for CUUB.

Let Us Be that Stable

Rev. Colleen Squires

WA: Lee Anzicek

Sunday, December 20th 2020 10:30am EST

As we approach the annual retelling of the Christmas Eve story we often think about the struggles of refugees, the hope a new born babe brings into the world and what it means to be welcoming by making room at the inn. This Sunday we will look at the importance and meaning of the word stable. In a time of so many unknowns let us be stable. 

Speaker:

Rev. Colleen Squires

Minister, All Souls Community Church of West Michigan

All Souls Community Church of West Michigan first met 19 years ago in a local park on Sunday, Sept 9, 2001. Two days later our world changed with the events of Sept 11th. The next week they met again in the park committed to building a liberal faith community that is welcoming and inclusive to all in the conservative city of Grand Rapids. In 2012 they called the Rev. Colleen Squires to serve as their first settled minister. A few years ago they became a teaching congregation.
