Sunday Morning Services

Honoring what we know of each other
and trusting what we do not yet know,
we gather to create a safe, loving community
where we use words as tools, not dogma.

Prepare your spirit to explore, experience, and
express the mystery and wonder of existence.

Enter with an open heart and mind.

Sunday, July 27 WORSHIP SERVICES at 10:00 AM Stargazing into Eternity coordinated by Danelle Simonelli

 

Our Sunday Services seek to meet the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual needs of our members and friends both as individuals and as a religious community. Services are presented either by our minister Rev. Alison B. Miller or by lay members of our congregation, under the coordination of our Sunday Services Committee.

This gives our services diversity and vitality, and allows members to share their outlooks and experiences in a personal way. Music, art, dance, and nature are ever-present parts of our services, as we celebrate those things that add richness and meaning to our lives.

Toward Right Relations

In 1995 the UUA passed a resolution "toward safe congregations and right relations." This year's General Assembly carried this theme, acknowledging that we are far from journey's end. This service will explore what it means to be in right relations with one another, with our congregation, with our community and with our planet?

It's Time to Say Yes

Over the course of the past few decades, the religious right has undertaken a highly effective campaign to raise its profile and influence public policy. How should religious liberals respond to these developments? What does our faith affirm as liberating, transformative and good, and what could we be doing to be a more visible and effective presence in our world?

Worship service led by the Rev. Evan Keely

Interim Minister, UU Congregation of Somerset Hills

August 27, 2006

Singing For Our Lives

Beth Wilson feels that music, in particular singing, has been a comfort and joy throughout her life. We will explore what singing means to us throughout our lives in a service of singing together.

Worship service led by MUF Member Beth Wilson

August 20, 2006

Why Prison Ministry?

If we believe in "the inherent worth and dignity of every person," then UUs have a faith message that is desperately needed in prisons. When people enter prison they are stripped of their humanity and hope. Gloria Jackson leads a service showing how we, as UUs, can come in from the outside and acknowledge our shared humanity. We can give them hope and a connection to the world outside the walls.

Worship service led by MUF member Gloria Jackson

August 13, 2006

Lionizing Dandelions

If you were a flower, what flower would you want to be? The Rev. Betsy Scheuerman thinks there's a lot to be said for that bane of suburban existence, the lowly and loathed dandelion.

Worship service led by Rev. Betsy Scheuerman

August 6, 2006

UUs Crack the Da Vinci Code!

What's all the fuss about the book and film "The Da Vinci Code"? We'll offer some Unitarian Universalist perspectives on the theology, history, and impact of this phenomenon. Music by George Aronson and Marjorie Wormser.
Worship service coordinated by MUF members Danelle Simonelli, Pat de la Fuente and Claire Dixon

Beyond Iron John: The Spiritual Needs of Men

Many men often feel alone, particularly when facing some of the most difficult issues life presents. However, this and other communities afford their members of the gender that all too often seeks to "go it alone" the chance to share and support one another. During this service, you will hear how many men at MUF have found greater strength in numbers.

Worship service coordinated by MUF members Tony Rutigliano, Gary Kunz and Steve Parker

July 23, 2006

Holdin' On: What Sustains You When the Going Gets Tough?

With words, music and poetry, MUF members and friends share stories of tough times and what (or whom) they turned to for help in getting through.

Worship service coordinated by MUF member Helen Lippman

July 16, 2006

Things Aren't Always What They Seem

In this life we are often surprised (and sometimes deceived) when the "obvious" is anything but. Results range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Stories and songs by members of the Story Weavers-Ken Galipeau, Carol Titus and others-will illustrate this principle, for adults and young persons 10 years and older.

Worship service coordinated by MUF member Carol Titus

July 9, 2006

Community of Faith?

What does it mean to be a person of faith within a religious community that embraces no creed?  This sermon will explore how we as Unitarian Universalists express and wrestle with Faith in light of our search for truth and meaning.             

Worship service led by Greg Geiger, Ministerial Student at Union Theological Seminary

Our Wounded Stories

All of us experience loss, pain and grieving at several times in our lives.  The stories of these experiences have a healing power of their own.  With them, the teller has the potential to heal both the people near them and the storyteller themselves.              

Worship service led by Greg Geiger, Ministerial Student at Union Theological Seminary
