Sunday Services Sermons and service events for the month of June 2009. Services are held each Sunday at 10:30 at the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center

 

June 7, 2009
UU of SCV Music Greatest Hits - Music Director Scott Roewe

   In lieu of a sermon, we will perform some of our favorite musical selections from our past performances. Music has the magical quality of transcending cultural and political borders, and for some is a magnet that draws them to church, opening the door to a spiritual community. We will also perform a ceremony acknowledging the recently donated hymnals. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Multi-Generational Service — All ages are welcome during the service. Children will stay with the adults, instead of going to R.E. classes this day.

Congregational Meeting — All signed members should plan to attend this members-only meeting to vote on church business.

The Personal and the Collective
in our Church and our Faith - Rev. Ricky Hoyt

   Our annual congregational meeting held the previous week is a testament to our principle of democracy. Spirituality is about the growth from a narrow self to ever-larger community, but there’s also, as within a democracy an imperative not to lose the self entirely. How do we accommodate those conflicting goals?

Long Days and Fatherhood - John Cooper

   The coincidence of Summer Solstice and Fathers’ Day occurring on the same day will be the subject of John Cooper’s talk on June 21st. Is the Summer Solstice to celebrate the longest day or the shortest night? John will talk about seasons, fatherhood and what they connect to in our historical agrarian culture.

Third Sunday Collection — The recipient of the third Sunday collection in June is the Senior Center. Barbara Cogswell will talk about the center and her volunteer work there.

Unitarian Universalism This Week - Rev. Ricky Hoyt

   Today I will have just returned from a week of General Assembly, the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists for worship, fellowship, visioning, learning, taking up social justice causes, and conducting the business of the Association. I’ll give you a report on what seems to be inspiring our faith in June of 2009.
