Power is restored at Northlake.
Church activities will resume in-person on Friday, November 22nd. Dress warmly as it may take some hours for the building to warm to its usual operating temperatures.
The theme for July is Joy. Our lives are filled with so many tasks and responsibilities, thoughts and feelings, activities, concerns, and sleep. How do we seek out joy in our lives? How do we take time to sink into the feelings of joy when they arise? Join us as we explore the ways in which joy strengthens, enlivens, and moves us to be fully human. Speaker: Ministerial Intern, Crystal Zerfoss
On this Mother’s Day we honor all women – and the spirit of persistence. While some may believe that this quality is new, or even political, persistence is a trait of spirit, will, and gut that has been well-honed over millennia. It is also spiritual. Speaker – Rev. Dr. Marian Stewart, who was Northlake’s minister for 9 years.
Is Unitarian Universalism more than those bright yellow shirts with the L-O-V-E letters across the front? Are we deeper than being on the front lines of justice-seeking? What is at the core of who we are? What guides/motivates/sustains us? If we peel away the d-i-y, believe-anything-you-want perceptions, is there a common core that is deeply spiritual, profoundly human, and able to transform the world – and us? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Marian Stewart, Northlake’s minister from 2009 – 2017.
Identity has many layers: our self-image – how we perceive ourselves, our projected image – how we present ourselves, and our external identities – how others perceive us based on their own experience and biases. Many influences shape our identity – some are circumstances beyond our control. But much of our identity is based on the choices we make and the actions we take – how we choose to respond to those circumstances. Speaker: Janelle Durham, Northlake Board President.
