We take a break from our series on John 1 to hear from John Dickinson. John is a dear friend of ours at LVV and he is Minister Emeritus at Carnmoney Church. We've included some discussion questions for you to reflect on as a response to this teaching. Q U E S T I O N O N E How have you experienced loss in the past 18 months? Remember, every part of the human experience is a valid entry point into prayer. Therefore, if you have not invited Jesus to minister to you, take a moment to present your loss to him in prayer, trusting that he draws close to the brokenhearted. Q U E S T I O N T W O On Sunday, John reminded us of how our losses remind us how small, how creaturely we are. How do you respond to the realisation of our smallness and our lack of control? Q U E S T I O N T H R E E Times of loss can open up the possibility of new opportunity. What new direction may Jesus be inviting you into?

How did the ancients see the universe and what does it say about how we humans should relate to survive the folly of our lifestyle?

Last March my wife Jane and I heard the Oregon Symphony perform Verdi’s Requiem for Manzoni. Several years ago while sharing some of my life story with ministerial colleagues I realized that each period of time had pieces of music important to me. This will be a sermon on listening to and respecting the music in our lives.   Speaker Bio David Maynard is Minister Emeritus of Eastrose UU Fellowship in Gresham, Oregon. He and Jane remain active in that congregation. David is also a retired therapist who specialized in helping couples and individuals affected by compulsive behaviors or addictions. They live with their dog, chickens, and gardens in Portland.

During the winter holidays, I hear of many lights. Hanukkah flames, the Yule log, solstice rituals that balance light and dark, and lights on trees inside and out, houses, wreathes and Advent candles. Today, that other great light from the Christmas legends, the star which the planetarium might say was a conjunction of planets, but to the Romans and Greeks who originally heard the story, would have appeared to be a rather horrific event. Come hear the wonderful preacher Rev. Dr. Mark Belletini unpack what this message this morning.   Rev. Dr. Belletini is the Minister Emeritus of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus OH. He served our congregations in Hayward and San Francisco CA before that. He was in the first wave of open and out GLBTQ ministers in the UUA, ordained in 1979.

He is named Minister Emeritus along with the wood behind the church building are now called "Muir Woods." Finally a blessing and laying on hands to send the Muirs off to the next chapter on life's journey.    Music:  "Hush, Somebody's Callin' my Name" - African American Spiritual "Natural Woman" written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King "I've Got You Under My Skin" written by Cole Porter   UUCA does not own any of the rights to music performed during the service. 

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 4, 2017, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Monuments and historical celebrations create a sense of public memory, and what we remember matters. The celebrations we offer and statues we erect help shape a shared narrative of our history and our public identity. These communal acts express and advocate public values, however, the meanings we make of events are not neutral. There are economic and political consequences of how we tell our story. Artists who design memorials are challenged with how to confront and memorialize the uncomfortable truths in our past. We launch our Summer Sermon Series: This American Faith with “The Gift of Doubt.” It was a favorite theme of our Minister Emeritus, Dr. John B. Wolf, during his nearly four decades as the Senior Minister of All Souls. Doubt causes us to question what we are told and is an important tool in seeking the truth. How can our efforts to honestly recall and evaluate the past provide the conditions for a brighter future?

Around 200 people gathered today to join in a historic day in the life of our church. Our Moderator, Rev. Thomas Murray, and our minister, Rev. David McLaughlin, unveiled the stones that would be the foundation of, and direct our purpose: “…for the Word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1v9 “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” Job 8v7 After the opening hymn, the Rev. James Beggs, Minister Emeritus of Ballymena Free Presbyterian Church, assured us of his prayers for our church and its witness in the Carryduff district. Rev. Garth Wilson brought greetings and blessings from his congregation in Sandown, and read from 1st Peter chapter 2, on the stones chosen by Jesus Christ for His work. Miss Ruth McMillan sang, Oh for a closer walk with God, followed by Rev. David McMillan, who was brought up in the Oughley Hills near the Carryduff church, and told of how he attended the meetings that took place in the Schoolhouse with the late Dr. Ian Paisley as one of the preachers. During that time, he first heard the Gospel, and was converted. With the skilled playing of Mr. Laurence Crawford on the Hammond, and Rev. Fred Greenfield accompanying with the accordion, the congregation sang “Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it” with great praise to the Lord for His redeeming blood and work on the cross. The offering was taken up followed by a prayer by the Rev. David  McLaughlin, thanking the Lord for His gifts and the giving of God’s people to the work. Miss Ruth McMillan sang her final hymn, Consider the Lilies, thinking of the gifts that God has given us. Rev. Thomas Murray preached on “The Lively Stones”, how God’s people are placed into the church and the strength that a church will have when all the stones fit together to build a spiritual house of God. At the end of the service it was announced that the total offering lifted was £17,665.67, to which we give all the thanks and praise to Almighty God for His goodness. Further gifts are to be added to this amount from our local churches, that have also given to the building of the work here in Carryduff.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, April 14, 2013, during the contemporary service at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Tamara Lebak, Associate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Rev. Dr. John Wolf, our Minister Emeritus wrote, “The church… is not a body of doctrine, or of reasons; or of explanations. It is a community of those who have known the deepest valley and who have passed through it to the other side…they have not been lost, or embittered in the passage. Instead, in spite of it, or, rather, because of it, they have learned compassion, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, and self-control. The anxiety, the frustration, the despair, the gap between ourselves and others, the separation we feel with the ground of our own being, cannot be overcome by religion. It is overcome in the community of the broken, the communion of saints, it is in the church wherein we are reconciled, bringing to it as we do the pieces of our lives—if not our lives in pieces—to share with one another.” Have you been to the valley, where the very foundation under your feet has crumbled? Have you lost someone you love dearly? How can we continue to live in the face of such tragedy? How can they live on in spite of such finality? Join me this week as I examine our lives in pieces and how it is the church, not theology, nor religion that truly saves us. It is in fact the community of the broken.
