Worship Service – May 28, 2023
~ New Houses from Old Bricks ~
The ways we make meaning for ourselves out of our own experience is both a creative process and one that’s necessary for living out the 4th UU principle, “a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” We’ll explore some ways we make our own meaning using older wisdom traditions, inspired by the autobiography of Rebecca Cox Jackson, an African-American woman who founded a lesser-known, urban Shaker community in mid-19th century Philadelphia. Remembering Ralph Waldo Emerson’s birthday (May 25), we’ll read him alongside Jackson and consider whether creative meaning-making can be a communal process as well as an individual one.
This service will be led by Rev. Rebecca Liberty with Phyllis Havens and Francis Grey as our worship team. Music will be provided by Karen Childs’ band Just Honey.

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.

Every Sunday, we share half of our undesignated plate offerings with an organization that works toward our UU values. In May, half of the undesignated funds in the plate will go to Bangor Pride. Bangor Pride is a week-long series of events held on the third week of June to support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. It is organized by Health Equity Alliance. Bangor Pride 2023 will have a parade and festival on Saturday, June 24 in Downtown Bangor.
