This morning we celebrate our uniqueness and commonalities as individuals and a human family through music, readings and stories about water. We'll remember an important anniversary as part of the service. Bring a bit of water from your summer travels to add to our common bowl. This is a service for all ages.
Also included: The Jar of Tears (A story written and read by Kathy Cronin as part of the water ceremony.)

Frances Perkins was Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945. Many programs and laws implemented during these years still impact workers today. Raised a Unitarian, she lived a life that gives use clues about what it means to live faith fully.

Unitarian Universalism calls itself a religious movement because we're always in a spiritual process of emerging, evolving, becoming more whole and our ministry in the world is too. This morning I'll share my ideas about some good ways that ERUUF could be on the move in the coming years.

Unitarian Universalists claim many sources of inspiration and authority for our faith; how we use them is important.

In this service for All Ages we'll celebrate the journey we travel around the circle of life, stopping at a few of the places where ERUUF touches our lives. The service will include a welcome for ERUUF's new members, teacher recognitions, and a bridging ceremony for high school seniors.

Protofeminist and Unitarian Julia Ward Howe created the day we know as Mother’s Day as a Women’s Day of Peace – a day to acknowledge the horror women suffer when the men they love go away to war. Though we continue to quest for peace, today we also look to the tragedy of maternal mortality, particularly in the developing world, as we honor women who mother.

The novelist and ardent ecologist Wallace Stegner once said that wilderness is so vital it must be preserved “even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of assuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures,…part of the geography of hope." Where might we look for this geography of hope today?
