May 2013 Transcendence

May 5 Coming of Age and Bridging Service
Rev. Krista Taves
In these deeply moving ceremonies, we honor the transitions of our young people. The Coming of Age program recognizes the move from childhood to youth. Honorees have been exploring their faith and their beliefs in a group as well as one-on-one with mentors as they prepare to officially join our Senior Youth Group. The Bridging program recognizes high school seniors as they "graduate" out of our Religious Education program and join the ranks of UU Young Adults.

May 19Transcendence as Boundaried Infinite Love
Rev. Krista Taves
As liberal religious people, we do not tend to place much emphasis on transcendence, especially when it comes to the holy. We are much more likely to see the holy or sacred as immanent in ourselves, our relationships, and the world. What can the concept of transcendence mean for us in a concrete way? This Sunday is also our Annual Flower Communion, when we bring flowers to share with our community. Bring flowers from your garden or the grocery store. Flowers will be available for those who cannot bring them. If you are able to bring extras for our guests, please do so.
