"Holding Open Possibilities for Each Other" Sunday, May 11, 2025 In this month when we look at the power of imagination, it is interesting to explore how we do that for one another in our personal relationships. How do parents use imagination (for good and ill) in the shaping of their kids' lives? How can we do that for one another, aware of the ways that are life-giving, second-chance-offering, and liberating? Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev.

"Attempted Poetry and Other Misdemeanors, Oh Joy!" Sunday, April 6, 2025, 10:50 am Joy is a little word with an expansive definition. There is Joy in the hard work of trudging towards Justice. And there is the pure joy of celebration. With a spring in your step, a poem in your heart, and companions by your side, the fraught world becomes a little lighter. Sure, we hear that there is danger everywhere: Danger to the right of us, Danger to the left. Danger within and Danger without. How Foolish it is to enter the fray wearing only armor plated with rhyme, padded with a quilt of verse, and carrying shields as light as any song. Come, let us gird ourselves with a little wry humor, a bit of dry wit, and let us join the poets in defending joy even in these dark days!

"Story: Wine, Weddings, and a Coming Out" Sunday, January 26, 2025 The theme of January is “Story.” One of the things I love about a tradition—religious, cultural, or literary—is that the community starts to repeat and value certain stories as worth revisiting, as worth revising in light of the interpretations we bring to them based on where we are in our lives. I've long been fascinated and horrified by the story of the wedding in Cana, one scene in the life of Jesus. It takes place in the Gospel as told by John, Chapter 2, verses 1-12. It's about wine. It's about a wedding. It is about a moment of coming out and the frightening and powerful inevitabilities that can be part of a life too.  Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev.

Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life; Eli Boshears, Worship Participant; Oriana Moren, Worship Participant; Calder Law, Worship Participant; Reiko Oda Lane, organist; UUSF Choir; Mark Sumner, director; Wm.

"How Do We Lead?" Sunday, December 8, 2024 Church has always been a place (and houses of worship in general) where the definition and understanding of how leadership shows up among us is broader and fuller than the world sometimes defines it. It's not so much that we loosen the definition but that we see so clearly how it takes so many different skills and gifts to make the whole of what we want to do together possible. This Sunday we will ask three leaders, in different tenures of leadership, to reflect on what calls them into the work and what they have learned and reflect on our own notion of and call to lead. The service is created and led with our Nominating Committee -- the group charged at UUSF not just of identifying leaders but equipping and developing and celebrating their leadership. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Courtney Young-Law; Ruth Grace Wong; John Meliska; Linda Enger; Gino Fortunato, Emma Wakeling, Membership; Reiko Oda Lane, organist; UUSF Choir; Mark Sumner, director Shulee Ong; Eric Shackelford, Camera Operators; Jonathan Silk, Communications Director; Thomas Brown, Jose Matias Pineda, and Francisco Castellanos, Sextons; Amy Kelly, Flowers; Linda Messner, Head Usher

"The State of the Union and the Soul of the Nation" Sunday, November 10, 2024 No matter what happens in our election, as I write this, it is playing out in voting booths and polling places across the country. We will have work to do together. The divide is too big, the rhetoric too scary and angry, for us to think that we can just declare victory or defeat and bunker back down on our side of the issues or arguments. As a nation, we need to reconnect to each other, to what is exacerbating any legitimate differences, heal some old wounds, and perhaps get good at declaring what we will not, the majority of us, agree to descend into. In addition, we need some articulated notion of the common good wrestled into national consciousness to anchor us against the storms of climate change and international anti-democratic movements and all else we need to face off, creatively, against instead of using up our energy to fight one another. This Sunday we gather ourselves, as we are, to begin to attend to what we have just been through and are facing as the emerging state of our union. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev. Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life; Dennis Adams, Worship Associate; Galen Workman, Moderator, Board of Trustees; Larry Chinn, jazz pianist; Mark Sumner, songleader; Ben Rudiak-Gould, songleader Shulee Ong; Eric Shackelford; Eli Boshears, Camera, Camera Operators; Jonathan Silk, Communications Director; Thomas Brown, Jose Matias Pineda, and Francisco Castellanos, Sextons; Athena Papadakos, Flowers; Linda Messner, Head Usher

"Uncertainty" Sunday, November 3, 2024 Among the hardest emotions to tolerate is uncertainty. And yet it is both so much a part of our lives, inevitably, part of the entire mortal condition, and part of a life that takes risks and reaches for the stars. It is also the river we wade into this election season. How do we live in the face of and dance with uncertainty?  Rev.

"Accountability to What We Hear Inside" Sunday, October 6, 2024, 10:50 am As we enter into the Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and as we launch into an examination of the theme of Deep Listening, I find myself reflecting on how deep listening to ourselves, our inner voice and feelings, is foundational to our personal discernment.

"The Turbulence of Invitation" Sunday, September 29, 2024, 10:50 am Invitation sounds so easy and lovely, but already this month we have unpacked some of both what it opens up for us and what it requires. What about the ways invitations throw the unexpected our way? In ways small and large, it requires courage and bent-knee flexibility and readiness as a posture. Let me tell you a small example from my recent experience narrow boating in England and a few other stories too as we look together at the turbulence that is part of living life alive to invitation.

"The Fight to be Authentic, and Loved" Sunday, May 19, 10:50 am, 2024 It is so central to want to be seen and loved for who we are, understood, if we can be so lucky. It is also the source of so much pain (and power) to make that journey in a world, in a family, at a time that won't easily make a place for you in the family of things, to paraphrase poet Mary Oliver. Drawing from Lamya H's "Hijab Butch Blues," let's talk about some of the journey to being authentically ourselves. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev.

"A Polymath Nun and Why She Matters on this Mothers' Day" Sunday, May 12, 10:50 am, 2024 Reflections on Hildegard von Bingen: The Patron Saint of Late Bloomers. She founded her own abbey, created her own language, and wrote one of the first musical plays. She was a wonderful composer who set her own lushly poetic texts. Hildegard was 42 before she started writing anything down, and she was also someone who didn't accept her place in the world. In a male-dominated church, she went on preaching tours at a time when women were not supposed to preach, especially in public. She refused to behave in a certain way. She wrote at a time when, if the church authorities had not thought she was divinely inspired, she could easily have been put to death as a heretic. Let's witness how else she might inspire.

"When Legacy Propels Boldness" Sunday, April 28, 10:50 am, 2024 The word "legacy" always draws for me images of things past: heavy, anchoring, a little dusty, and old. But in reality, they are just as often more like a sail for covering fast oceans or a ballast for weathering storms than a heavy anchor somewhere fixed and forgotten. This Sunday, I will talk about some of the legacy of the UU Service Committee (UUSC) and its living legacy as I return from a trip to Poland with its Board to meet with organizations doing the work to protect human rights and serve war-torn lands as boldly as that which launched the organization over 70 years ago. Moreover, this Sunday we will talk about our own legacy in this church with our Allyne Circle and those we honor and name this Sunday who are added to our plaque. Rev.

The quarter-finals are finally here and we're joined by a stellar cast on this week's episode of the Official Rugby World Cup Podcast, presented by Asahi Super Dry, to look ahead to what's set to be a mouthwatering weekend of World Cup clashes. British & Irish Lions legend Jamie Roberts, Ex Irish International and one of the sharpest minds in rugby Bernard Jackman, and Fijian star Niko Matawalu join host Gethin Jones to unpick all the action, preview the quarters and of course share some hilarious stories along the way. We find out the ridiculous lengths Warren Gatland goes to to motivate his players from physical and mental punishment to forcing them to don a fake tan, discuss why the Northern hemisphere are so dominant, find out how Ireland have become such a successful rugby nation and uncover the key changes put in place that have unlocked Fijis fortunes. The lads also debate what 10/12/13 combination England should go with, why the All Blacks are basking in being 'the hunters rather than the hunted', the importance of the inside centre position at this WC, why Gavin Henson hated ice baths and we find out how Sextons and O'Driscoll's sons are already wreaking havoc across Irish rugby. This is your definitive review & preview of all of the World Cup action, so sit back, relax and enjoy the Official Rugby World Cup Podcast, presented by Asahi Super Dry. #BeyondExpected, Hosted on Acast.

Introducing Jamie-Lee Sexton: a Jo’burg based artist, leader of the band, The Sextons, who has been making waves up north as soloist for some time. Her name also may sound familiar to longtime fans of Idols SA, as she placed in the top 8 of season 6 of the reality TV show. But now it’s time for the Western Cape to meet her - on the province's biggest radio station, on SA's most popular chart show. Following the release of new single 'It’s True’ on Friday, 30 April 2021, Carl Wastie gave Jamie-Lee Sexton a call the following day (Saturday, 1 May 2021) on the multiple award-winning Kfm Top 40 to intro her to Kfm 94.5 and to give her new track, which pays homage to the 80s, a spin. 'It's True', produced by SA pop icon, Daniel Baron, is the first single from her upcoming EP, 'Medicine Woman', which will be released later this year.

Der erste Spieltag der 2018er-Version der Rugby Six Nations ist Geschichte. Die Teams haben sich nicht lumpen lassen und einen Spieltag fabriziert, über den noch lange diskutiert werden wird. Drei Spiele standen auf dem Plan. In Cardiff empfingen die Waliser das Team aus Schottland, im Stade de France in Paris traf Frankreich unter Neucoach Jacques Brunel auf Irland und am Sonntag reiste England nach Rom, um dort auf den großen Außenseiter aus Italien zu treffen. Gleich das Eröffnungsspiel geriet zu einer kleinen Überraschung. Schottland hatte keine Chance gegen Wales, die einen der besten Auftritte der letzten Jahre zeigte. Besonders Leigh Halfpenny, dem gerne zu konservatives Spiel vorgeworfen wird, überzeugte mit makellosem Kickspiel und zwei selbst gelegten Versuchen. Das zweite Spiel wurde erst in der Schlussphase hochdramatisch. Johnny Sexton, der Irland in der ersten Halbzeit schon durch seine Kicks in Führung gebracht hatte, setzte in der Nachspielzeit bei 12-13 Rückstand einen Drop Kick aus 45 Metern durch die Stangen. In Rom hatten die Engländer mehr Mühe, als ihnen wohl lieb war. 60 Minuten konnte Italien sehr gut mithalten. Am Ende gingen ihnen aber die Kr...

Shelby and Aesop are back on the couch with Episode 23 (NOT 24), a philosophical exploration of all things political, gastrointestinal, musical, nautical, nonsensical, and psychedelic. Is it worth your time? There's only one way to find out... "Sextons of the churchyard Have seen unblessed things; Ground no longer hallowed Has sprouted new graves. Descendants of clan That unsurped maternity hear whispers in their blood; This summons of the Fathers. Adherence to the principle Of 'man by woman born'... Anachronistic ritual Soon to be obsolete. 'Forgive me Father For I know not what I do; My grave beckons As irresistable as drawing breath.'" - Lord Worm "Bleh" - also Lord Worm Music: Cryptopsy, "Graves of the Fathers" Night Sun, "Got A Bone of My Own"

"Husmoderns död och andra texter" heter en splitterny essäsamling av litteraturprofessorn och kritikern Sara Danius - Dan Jönsson har precis gett ut reportageboken "Kontinentaldrift" om tillståndet i Europa i spåren av den ekonomiska krisen. Kritiken har läst båda böckerna tillsammans med kritikerna Mattias Berg, SR Kultur och Ulrika Milles, kulturskribent på bland annat Dagens nyheter. Hur stark är essägenren i Sverige? Och vilken ställning har det litterära reportaget i bokform, när allt färre tidningar har råd att satsa på långa reportage? Dessutom, Göran Sommardal resonerar kring begreppen igenkänning och inlevelse utifrån "Sanningen de döda vet", som är ett urval av poeten Anne Sextons dikter - och - kulturredaktionens Naila Saleem har träffat den pakistanska författaren Kamila Shamsie, som bland annat förklarar varför så många författare från Pakistan så ofta ägnar sig åt landets historien.
