This service celebrates the amazing, heartening return to a greening to Vermont. There will be harp, flute, trance, and best of all, a maypole dance at the end of the service.

Following up on last October’s service on the topic of transformation, we will take a second look at faith as an aspect of consciousness and reflect on how we can help ourselves, and each other, along the path of transformation. We will re-engage with some of the practical tools to shared in the Fall and explore how they can support us.
This Sunday’s “This I Believe” service focuses on the theme of life transitions. Four members of the MMUUF congregation, Delia, Rick, Stone and Evergreen, will share their thoughts on this topic.
Throughout life, we often turn to words to help us keep going–especially in the darkest of times. Poems, especially, can serve as meditations for staying grounded, celebrating moments of joy, or honoring deep grief, calls to action for continued pushing, and connectors for bridging gaps and building solidarity. As usual, we will be inviting folks to share a poem (more information to come) and we’ll write a group poem as well.
Reaching out to others requires a set of skills that we can learn and practice just like any other life skill. It also takes courage. In this time of ever-increasing division in our country, what are some of the practical ways we are reaching out to make meaningful connections that foster community?
