February 19, 2012: Life at the Improv

Improvisation and Unitarian Universalism have more than a little bit in common. Both require an open mind and the willingness to explore past a pre-determined path, for example. Today, we look at the wondrous possibilities when faith and improvisation intersect. The Choir will sing.

February 26, 2012: Reflections on Lay Chaplaincy

Over the years, many members of our congregation have served as Lay Chaplains – people specifically selected and trained to perform rites of passage for non-members and others who are not necessarily Unitarian Universalists. Lay Chaplains are approved and registered by the Canadian Unitarian Council, and are licensed by the province. This morning we reflect on this long-standing program through which committed individuals create meaningful rituals that mark important life passages.
