"Holy Days"
Rev. Hubbell
It may seem ironic that we have a holiday to honor labor. But it is in the
holidays that we may find renewal to nurture our daily work as ministry. Today we
explore the work of the spirit.

"See We One Another Clearly? (Homecoming and Water Communion)"
Revs. Manwell and Hubbell with the choir
Again we draw on Harry Belafonte, whose lively calypso song invites us to ask each
other, "Do you know who I am? Do I know who you are? See we one another clearly?" We'll
be asking ourselves these questions on our spiritual quest this year to deepen our
relationships.
Whether it comes from some far-off place or the back yard, bring a token of water to
share in water communion, as we reflect on experiences which have inspired us, moved us, or
surprised us, and deepened our sense of connection.

"Always Beginners"
Rev. Manwell
The religious life is always about the journey; we never achieve perfection, never “arrive.” We’re always
beginners, with a “growing edge” to work on. With our Jewish friends, now beginning their new year after
rituals of forgiveness, we acknowledge that to move forward we must first forgive ourselves and each other, and
let go of all that holds us back.

"Making Love: Living the First Principle"
Rev. Phyllis L. Hubbell with the choir
Our First Principle sounds good, affirming the inherent worth and dignity of all people. But most of us know people
or even whole groups of people that challenge that abstract statement – people we dismiss as not worthy of our respect
and care.
Our Universalist heritage teaches us that each person has something to give the world, to give us. And our Unitarian
heritage insists that each of us can learn to see the unexpected gifts waiting in people we thought we knew.
