May it spark in us a spirit of humility. May it ignite in us radical love that transforms our energy into purposeful action....Chalice Lighting | By Rebekah Savage | October 15, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Anti-Oppression, Commitment, Community, Direct Experience, Hope, Integrity, Living Our Faith, Multiculturalism, Race/Ethnicity, Reconciliation, Unitarian UniversalismWorship element

We are Unitarian Universalists. When we lift up our Seven Principles, some of us think of them as a form of theology—but they are more important to our collective than that: they do not tell us what we should believe; they tell us how we should be. They tell us how we should act in the larger...Invocation | By Viola Abbitt | October 15, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Anti-Oppression, Commitment, Community, Direct Experience, Integrity, Listening, Living Our Faith, Multiculturalism, Race/Ethnicity, Reconciliation, Unitarian UniversalismWorship element -

The offering that we take each Sunday isn't just a stale habit: it's an opportunity to recommit to this place, and to this people. Our offering is an affirmation—a “yes.” When we give, we say yes to something we value. With our gifts, freely given, may we say yes to the values of our faith.Offering | By Erika Hewitt | September 4, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Commitment, Gratitude, Money, Purpose, Secular, Self-Respect, Stewardship, Unitarian UniversalismWorship element -
As we are confronted by chaos, May we have the wisdom to believe in peace. Surrounded by voices of disagreement, May we have the audacity to speak for peace.

"I went back to church thinking that it would be like an epidural, like it would take the pain away… that church would make the pain go away. Faith and church was not an epidural for me at all; it was like a midwife who just stood next to me saying, 'Push. It’s supposed to hurt a little bit.'"...Quote | By Brené Brown | July 26, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Challenge, Commitment, Direct Experience, Discernment, Faith, Letting Go, Living Our Faith, Pain, Purpose, SpiritualityWorship element -
Empathy isn’t just something that happens to us—a meteor shower of synapses firing across the brain—it’s also a choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves. It’s made of exertion, that dowdier cousin of impulse. Sometimes we care for another because we know we should or because...Reading | By Leslie Jamison | July 19, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Commitment, Compassion, Connections, Direct Experience, Empathy, Humanism, Interdependence, Living Our Faith, Love, Relationships, SecularWorship element -
