To embrace faith over fear, Unitarian Universalists need to listen to our fears. Come discover how listening to our fears is a transformative spiritual art to reduce harm and nurture a caring community.
As much as Unitarian Universalism is a faith inviting us to stretch towards our potential, it is also a tradition inviting us to honor our capacity. This Sunday, we’ll explore how the disability justice movement and theologies of limits invite us to live into interdependence.
Ministerial transitions have summoned our faith community into a threshold time. This Sunday, we’ll consider what wisdom awaits us as we journey together to reflect on “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?” [Our opening words, Thresholds, are from Arlen Goff.]
Instead of saying “I can’t do it,” how does our perspective shift when we say “I can’t do it YET.”Norhtlaker Janelle Durham shares her story of overcoming a fixed mindset about her musical abilities, then a children’s story about the magical word yet, some affirmations, and a discussion of the benefits of the growth-based mindset.
This video episode of the podcast features Ellie Peterson, Northlaker and children’s book author and illustrator. She describes her message: The picture book is often relegated to young children, and even then, adults are quick to graduate children to books without pictures. However, picture books are an art form and a practice in concise and powerful language sure to mesmerize adults as well as kids. Learn why you should pick up a picture book again sooner rather than later.
During the summer, Northlake members present sermons – this week’s speaker was Chris Knowlton. Here’s his summary: In our quest for personal fulfillment, we often look inward, searching for that one true passion that will define our lives. But what if the path to purpose isn’t about finding the perfect career or hobby, but rather about how we contribute to our community? We’ll explore how service to others can unexpectedly lead us to a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.
We will explore how creative imagination transforms us as people and as a community. Embracing change, exploring possibility is restorative and life-affirming.
