Rev Furrer, preaching on the evolution of the mythic figure we all know as Santa Claus.
In what ways does systemic racism and white supremacy culture apply to our Congregations & Communities? This workshop will cover a section of the UUA's Commission on Institutional Change Report. The report explains the necessity for congregations, and the UUA, to deepen our engagement in the work of anti-racism. First, we have to take it in.
Join us this morning for our RE winter pageant celebration. After almost 2 years of zoom and outdoor RE we will be in the sanctuary to bring you the wonderful story A Holiday for All written by Luna Jubis and Sunshine Glynn. Please join us on line for the fabulous celebration.
Good King Wenceslas has long been my favorite Christmas Carol, partly because it includes a verse with my name in it, but far more because of its poignant social outreach message in a medieval context, its crisp, clear images, and its lovely melody.
Kids and families, please join us on Christmas Eve at 3:30pm for a pre-service scavenger hunt. You’ll have some fun wandering the campus grounds searching for UUnique items! Be sure to come so you can get your warm cocoa and prizes! Check in at the Sanctuary Courtyard Landing.
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 living in and through apocalyptic times. Are they End Times? Prophets have long predicted a coming day when our shared temporal experience is interrupted and radically changed. First here was nuclear Armageddon and now: accelerating climate change. Are the prophets correct? Let’s kick off 2022 right!
World building and imaginative play: Join us in the Sanctuary to construct a new world. Bring a pillow and a blanket. What can we learn about community, individualism, and cooperation from building an epic pillow fort? Join us to play and see.
January sixth is celebrated among orthodox Christians as Epiphany. Lower case “e”piphany is kind of an ah-ha experience or moment. How to cultivate such moments and celebrate them when they come.
Please come for a information and conversation session about our winter programs, reopening the campus for worship, and an opportunity to social and connect as an RE community. Lunch Provided. Movie “Howl’s Moving Castle” will be shown in the North Room for kids to hang out while adults talk some!
The church will open soon for in-person worship, meetings, and fellowship. How will we react to each other after all these months? What will you do if something expected has changed? This may be a surprise and an adjustment! Let’s talk!
The Beloved Conversations Among team leads a worship service about the current program many ESUC lay leaders and staff have been participating in and finding very energizing. Hands on transformation!
