Living Our Principles In a Time of Social Distancing!
February 7
“When Our Heart is in a Holy Place”
Rev. Jane Page, Worship Leader
In this service, Rev. Jane leads with her series using songs from Singing the Journey as her sacred text. She will explore and expand on the lyrics in this song (#1008) which helps us to develop the kind of sacredness within us that we need to move forward with peace, love, and joy in the world.
February 14
“SIDE WITH LOVE” (Revised on 2/8/21)
Rev. Jane Page, Worship Leader
For this Valentine’s Day, we will take advantage of the wonderful service provided by the Unitarian Universalist Association for this SIDE WITH LOVE Sunday.
This service is coordinated by Rev. Erika Hewitt, UUA Minister of Worship Arts, who recruited a range of UU religious professionals and lay leaders to bring this service to full expression. All worship participants speak from their lived experience, which is grounded in at least one marginalized identity:
-
Dr. Takiyah Nur Amin
-
Laura Conkle
-
Rev. Michael Crumpler
-
Julica Hermann de la Fuente
-
Dr. Tuli Patel
-
Everette Thompson
Join us in our regular Zoom Room. In addition to enjoying this service, we will hear our own online choir sing “Answering the Call of Love” and have time to share our own Joys and Concerns. Of course, we will also have good fellowship in our breakout rooms after the service.
Anthem: "Answering The Call of Love" (aka Standing On the Side of Love)
February 21 (3rd Sunday) - Speaker & subject have changed. This is effective as of 2/18/21.
“Shaping Change”
Rev. Carlton Pearson, Guest Speaker
Although we’ve had to postpone our “Dialogue on Race Part 2: Insights from Black UU Women” originally planned for this UUFS service, we have an excellent program planned. We will be sharing a sermon by Rev. Carlton Pearson, an affiliate minister with the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Tulsa. Reverend Pearson, aka Bishop Pearson, has an interesting and unusual history which was shared in “Come Sunday,” an excellent movie on Netflix. You can read more about him and the movie at this UUA link below.
The sermon we will be sharing Sunday is entitled “Shaping Change” that he shared with the All Souls congregation 6 months ago in the midst of the pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests throughout the nation. His words provide encouragement for us at UUFS as we attempt to “shape change” for our future while we continue to be physically separated from one another. Tanya Carden will be your worship leader and Robert Cottle will be there in our sanctuary with her to provide you with some good music.
Join us at 10:30 in our special 3rd Sunday zoom room!

"Rumi: A Poet for Our Times"
Rev. Jane Page, Worship Leader
Rev. Dr. Mellen Kennedy, Guest Speaker
Rev. Jane’s fellow seminarian and friend Rev. Mellen Kennedy will visit with us from Vermont via Zoom. She shares a sermon about Rumi who was a 13th century Sufi poet and mystic. He grew up and lived in a time of turmoil and his insights speak so clearly to our time. Join us for a celebration of Rumi. You're invited to bring your favorite Rumi poem to share if you'd like.
Anthem: "Here We Have Gathered," sung by the ALCJ Quartet
