Worship Calendar April 2024
Our Soul Matters theme of the month is “Interdependence.” Ask yourself: How often do I feel a sense of interdependence? Do I have a way to visualize and articulate how interdependence works? How intertwined is my life to all lives, my life to all things under, (and beyond), the sun?
April 7, 2024: “Practically Poetry”
(Rev. Michael) There are several ways to envision interdependence, and see it for the saving grace that it is. All of nature, and the infinite field of stars above, suggest possibilities for unity, harmony, creativity and wonder. Today we celebrate Joys & Concerns and more.
April 14, 2024: “Climate Justice and all that Jazz”
(Rev. Michael) How can we hope to reverse the direction in which climate deprivation, corporate chicanery and economic injustice are leading us? Perhaps we need to change our ways and play a new tune. The Choir joins us today and we will take Time for All Ages.
April 21, 2024: “Mother Earth”
(Worship Committee) Mothering ourselves and mothering the planet can be interconnected sides of the same coin. What small and big changes can we make to be part of the healing of our planet, while caring for ourselves at the same time?
Please send any thoughts, readings, music etc that you would like to see woven into the service. This is shared ministry after all. Please e-mail your ideas to Lindsay Bartlett ()
April 28, 2024: “What Happens Next?”
(Rev. Michael) Stories connect and divide us. They help us to understand, (or undermine), what is, explain or invent what was, and cast a hopeful light, or a dark shadow, upon what will be. Stories, fables, scriptures and tall tales are how we try to understand what the experience of living means, and whether it has any significance. The KUUC Choir joins us today.
Safety ~ Choice ~ Inclusivity ~ Flexibility
Safety is our overriding concern. Our newly purchased audiovisual equipment makes it possible to have multiplatform/hybrid worship services that can be watched at home. Thus, those of us who are at higher risk of getting COVID-19, whether due to not being vaccinated or because of having a health condition that makes vaccination less effective, can still attend services, virtually. Our concurrent streaming to YouTube makes it possible for those of us who have other reasons to not attend services in person to attend online.
Although the CDC has basically stated that all activities are safe for those who have been fully vaccinated (provided that they do not have compromised immune systems), the UUA, in its emphasis on inclusivity, has set forth guidelines with the assumptions that not everyone has a healthy immune system and that not everyone is vaccinated (especially given that children under age 12 are not yet approved for vaccination). Thus, the UUA recommends use of masks at worship services, also spacing. Smaller groups (ideally fully vaccinated) may meet without masks, but all group members should be willing and ready to wear a mask at the request of any member of the group. As eating and drinking together inside in large groups is not possible to do while masked, and is a relatively high-risk activity, there will be no coffee hour for the time being—at least not indoors.
With the following rules, attending activities at KUUC will be at least as safe as entering other indoor spaces that are used by the general public.
