Join East Shore children and youth for a Spring Pageant, this time, virtual! We’re pleased to present to you all a fun-filled morning learning about Unique Unitarian Universalists. Who from our past, present, and future can help us uncover the mysteries and gifts of our faith? And who among us is a Unique UU? Are you?? Children and youth of the congregation are invited to participate in some live and several pre-recorded segments of this worship.
Using stories from her (Snohomish) and other native traditions, storyteller Pameĺa Čəlalákəm will crack open the wisdom found there. Songs and celebration in the spirit of early harvest amid ecological crisis.
Our 4:00 Christmas Eve service will be an in-person, outside event. The church and grounds will be decorated for the holidays, and we will have seats, outdoor heaters and canopies set up in case there is rain. Attendees are encouraged to dress warmly (and to remain masked.) The East Shore Mighty Choir will sing several holiday songs, and the gathered congregation will sing a number of Christmas carols together. Reverend Furrer will preside with a holiday message, and Director of Music Eric Lane Barnes will lead us all in song. There will also be a surprise musical guest for the 4:00 service.
Our 7:00 Christmas Eve service will be online over Zoom. The sanctuary will be festooned with garland and candles, and Reverend Furrer will deliver his Christmas message from the sanctuary pulpit. Musical guests Brenda David and Paul Rosenberg together with Director of Music Eric Lane Barnes will sing holiday favorites in beautiful three-part harmony.
The ESUC Staff is off this Sunday, so we found some great services happening on Sunday! We hope you attend one and let us know what you think!
Reverend Furrer preaching on the need for radical measures in each of our personal lives if we are to faithfully succeed in arresting and healing global warming.
Join us as we hear from several women as we honor mothers. And on the cusp of the reported repudiation of a women's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, those who have chosen - for a time of maybe forever - to not be mothers.
How does our faith lead our discussion of reproductive rights? We will hear from UUA President Susan Frederick Gray and other UU leaders, plus music and more.
Participate in the intergenerational pageant presented by the RE children and teachers. The skit, “A Holiday for All,” was written by East Shore members Luna Jubis and Sunshine Glynn. Volunteers and families please email the Director of Education Amanda Uluhan to participate in the pageant. Please join us for this seasonal celebration.
Guy Nelson will dive deep into the idea of Creative Play. It's a fun and powerful way for groups to interact and co-create art, stories and solutions in a complex world. Guy brings his talents and decades of experience as a workshop leader, improv actor, musician and author. He believes Creative Play can transform groups and individuals and is a deeply spiritual practice that teaches us to be present, open, compassionate and imaginative in all aspects of our lives. Come and see how we can learn it and apply it!
This lively event will feature the East Shore Mighty Choir, numerous guest performers, and several talented performers who are East Shore members. We will sing a number of favorite carols, as well as some new additions as we usher in this season with bright holiday spirits.
We’re pleased to present to you all a fun-filled morning reflecting on the various wisdom traditions who celebrate year after year since time immemorial during the dark of the year. You will work alongside the amazing UU children of the East Shore RE program.
What seeds are you planting for the new year? How are you weaving your magic into your relationships with others? How can we center beauty and goodness and love in all that's ahead? Watch this inspiring video featuring UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt and the UUA Staff. (Note: there is no live service this Sunday)
How do we adapt to the changing world? How do we collectively transform and grow spiritually and ethically? Transformation is fundamental to our Unitarian and Universalist heritages, never complete and never perfect. At the heart of our Unitarian Universalist movement is Transformation: A value that challenges us to both personal and collective change.
