Sunday  Services

Our Sunday Services and Religious Education are at 10:30 a.m.

They are open to all.  Infant and toddler care are available.  

2/5 Paul Kent Oakley: Sacred Stories, Sacred World, Sacred People

As postmodern people who have no doubts about the Big Bang and Evolution except in their details, we may not always remember that these are a "creation" narrative, constituting a foundational myth for our time. But the unscientific creation myths of the past still surround us. Whether taken literally or metaphorically, the stories we tell about origins affect the way we see ourselves in our world, what is possible, what is good. In this service, we will look at stories we tell and consider what difference they make. As part of the nationwide “Souper Bowl Sunday,” our offering will support the work of Good Samaritan Ministries here in Carbondale.

2/12 Bill Sasso: Stories from a Ministry

Continuing our reflections on the place of “story” as an important part of how we come to understand ourselves, Bill will share some of the stories that seem most significant to him over his years with our Fellowship. How has our time together evolved as it has unfolded? What might we learn from the journey that we have shared? Be there to find out! Our children and youth will be with us for the first part of the service.

2/19 Jack Stewart: How Is a Naturalist to Understand Spirituality?

Jack will attempt to convey the "religious experience" that he has shared recently in some “Open Minds” discussions. Please watch for more information about this service.

2/26 Rev. Jennifer Brooks: Time
Stewardship Testimonial:
The Reverend Jennifer Brooks serves All Souls Unitarian Church in Kansas City, Missouri. She’ll explore with us the concept of time. Can we make time slow down, or get more of it than we have? This service takes a thoughtful look at science’s current understanding of time, and offers philosophy’s wisdom for managing it. Bill Sasso will coordinate this service.
