Worship Service – April 23, 2023
~ Earth Day: Rediscovering Wildness ~
This Sunday, we will observe Earth Day by wondering together about “wildness” and our relationship to it, both in the natural world and human community. How might it lead us to resist a cultural ideal/idol of productivity? How might it empower our practice of the UU 7th principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”?
This service will be led by Rev. Rebecca Liberty with Phyllis Havens, Sue McKay, and Atticus Foster as our worship team. Music will be provided by John Arimond.
Join the Zoom Meeting by clicking here or by phone at (929) 205-6099 (USA NY) with meeting code 934 3237 8202 and passcode 133707.
For those attending in person: Please be aware that we are sending a live feed to Zoom every Sunday. If you do not want to be in this live feed, please avoid the center of the sanctuary so you are not in view of the camera. After the service, we edit the recording to eliminate the Candles of Joys and Concerns and then we are posting the service to our Website. Please contact Laurie Cartier if you have any questions about our procedures.

Worship Service – 10:00 AM EST
Every Sunday, we share half of our undesignated plate offerings with an organization that works toward our UU values. In April, half of the undesignated funds in the plate will go to Faith Linking in Action. FLIA, is a group of Bangor-area congregations working together to “go upstream” to address the reasons people are falling into and getting stuck in poverty. Participants include most major faith traditions in our region.
FLIA is actively involved with multiple local organizations, including the Greater Bangor Area Housing Coalition, Dignity First, Food AND Medicine, Right from the Start, and the Maine Association for the Education of Young Children. They also help organize the annual Interfaith Martin Luther King Service.
