 Sunday Worship Service

| Sunday, April 11th, 11:00 AM "Got Pain When You're
in an Other Guy's Shoes?"
Joan Nelson, Pulpit Guest, with Worship
Associate Carole Rosvold
Brain science suggests
that the human animal isn't so aggressive and war-like after all.
Indeed, that we are naturally empathic! But empathy hurts. What do you
do when you feel someone else's pain? (Warning: This sermon promotes
the practice of a forbidden pleasure.) View and Print April Services

Music Notes

 Phil Hildreth
Credentialed Music
Leader
Director of Music
April, 2010
Today I want to talk once again about our hymnal, "Singing the
Living Tradition". Throughout my Certification process I was always
struck by the power and intensity of singing together in a group, or a
congregation. And I was also struck by the lack of grounding in the UU
world. It was then that I discovered the scripture that is our hymnals,
past and present.
Whenever I stand before you, to announce a hymn, I make sure I
treat the moment with a modicum of respect for the words and the music
that we use in every service to enrich, commiserate, and just enjoy
together from our beloved hymnal.
The UUA also has a supplement to our hymnal called, "Singing
the Journey" that we have maybe 20 copies of. I sometimes have the choir
sing from that hymnal. But these days I don't have enough of them for
all of my choir to have one. That may be a good thing too, I guess. I
hope one day we will all get the chance to sing from that as well.
