Topic: Earthsongs
Harmonia, Westwood’s choir, will be presenting Earthsongs by David Brunner. Earthsongs is a group of three choral pieces whose texts speak of the wonders of nature and of the importance of protecting our home and environment. With Earth Day so close (April 22) and this month’s theme of interdependence, it’s the perfect time to sing out our love for planet Earth.

Topic: Gifts of Repetition – Flower Communion Sunday
Unitarian Universalists tend to love variety – drawing knowledge and insight from many sources. But what about repetition? What value might repetition bring to our community?
We live in a time full of abundance – abundance of resources … abundance of opportunity … abundance of freedom. And, we know that these are not ‘givens’ – that not everyone enjoys them, and that none are guaranteed. What does it mean, to live in Seasons of Abundance?
