Strength in Broken Places
Minister: Rev. Leslie Ahuvah Fails Music: Marsha Sousa
“There is a mystery here. The mystery is that wounds do not just take away from life; they can add to life as well.” Douglas C. Smith
We all carry wounds — emotional, physical, spiritual — and each plays a part in shaping who we are. What strength do you possess as a result of the wounds you have experienced? How have those experiences prepared you for this moment? Rev. Leslie will explore the mystery of the strength we find in our broken places.

Deep Listening
With Rev. Leslie and Eric Muehling
When we tell our story from deep inside,
And we listen with a loving mind,
And we hear our voices in each other’s words,
Then our heart is in a holy place.
STJ #1008 “When Our Heart Is in a Holy Place”
When was the last time you cleared your mind, shut out the clamor of the world, and listened to the message of your heart? This service will help us to cultivate deep listening — to ourselves and others — as a spiritual art and healing practice.

UU the Vote
With Rev. Leslie and UUA Speakers
Community is at the heart of democracy. Housing, food security, health and self-determination are the pillars of a thriving community. COVID-19 has thrown more folks deeper into preexisting crises that threaten lives and democracy. This service — part of a national project of the Unitarian Universalist Association — will equip us to side with love and justice this election season.
