Sunday, May 5 “Healing for a Divided World”
Rev. Darcey Laine (from Athens)
Multi-Platform – In person Athens and on Zoom
Across the country, from schools, to religion, to politics it feels like the world is hardening into “us against them.” Universalism offers an antidote, a balm for this dualism. In belief and in practice, our Universalist faith tradition offers us a healing space between “us” and “them” which our world so dearly needs.

Sunday, May 12 Flower Ceremony
Rev. Laine (from Cortland)
Multi-Platform – In person Athens, IN person Cortlaned and on Zoom
This uniquely Unitarian ritual is almost 100 years old, and helps us share gratitude for the beauty of nature and for the diversity of our community. Once again this year it will be held in all 3 of our sanctuaries, so that we can share gratitude and beauty from far and near. Please bring a flower to the service, whether a cut flower, a flowering plant, a photo of a flower or a drawing of a flower.

Sun. May 26, “Milestones”
Rev. Laine (from Athens)
Multi-Platform – In person Athens and on Zoom
This is the time of year when students are graduating, and young people celebrate their accomplishments and milestones in their studies. In adulthood our milestones are not always so obvious, but as long as we live we learn and grow and change. Today we celebrate our many milestones large and small, noticing what has changed in our lives, accomplishments we celebrate, losses we release, challenges we have overcome.
