Sunday, July 26, Sanctuary and YouTube, 10am What Kind of Ancestors Will We Choose to Be? – led by Ray Wilson The Rev. Dr. Peter S. Raible wrote, “We build on foundations we did not lay; we warm ourselves by fires we did not light; we sit in the shade of trees we did not plant; we drink from wells we did not dig.” All those things—and a thousand more, both good and evil—are our inheritance from our ancestors. We stand on their shoulders. Now: “What kind of ancestors will we choose to be?”

Saturday, August 15, LMH Room A, 9:30-11am. Why do thoughtful people see the same world so differently? In this 90-minute interactive workshop, participants will explore worldviews: the largely invisible values and assumptions that shape what we notice, what we trust, and what we resist. Participants will take a short worldview assessment and consider three major worldviews active in the United States today — traditional, modern, and progressive — and why they so often talk past one another. This workshop offers a practical introduction for anyone interested in personal growth, intellectual exploration, or better dialogue across differences. To make the workshop convenient for more people, the same 90-minute session will be offered several times this summer. Each session begins at 9:30 AM. Please choose the Saturday date that works best for you: June 27, July 18, July 25, August 15, or August 29. To attend, please contact David Turner in advance at davidyturner@gmail.com. David is a longtime FRSUU member with 40 years of experience facilitating adult learning programs focused on interpersonal skills in professional environments. |

Sunday, August 30, First Congregational Society Unitarian Church, 10 am with livestream on YouTube. What Is Ours to Do Now? Led by Rev. Jane Tuohy. We live in a time of wars and the plague of division and scapegoating. While it is understandable to feel powerless, we are not. We have access to spiritual practices which, through the ages, have guided our ancestors as they too navigated the perils of war and hatred unbound. We each can be forces for good. In this service, we will explore perspectives and practices from different faith traditions that we can use for our own equanimity and to bring forth our own light and help others find theirs. Rev. Jane continues the long tradition of an FRSUU minister preaching at First Congregational Society UU in Hampton Falls on the last Sunday of each August. |
