“Hearken Now, the Darkness Comes”
a celebration of the last-harvest holiday of Samhain
(Celtic New Year or Halloween)
Presenters: February Sky (Phil Cooper & Susan Urban)
The Celtic word “Samhain” means “summer’s end.” This holiday is the beginning of Winter and the New Year, the time of giving thanks for a good harvest, and a time for letting go of what no longer serves us. It is also the time of year when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is said to be the thinnest, and the dead are invited back for loving remembrance. In the course of this service, we will observe all of these ancient traditions and reflect on their significance in our modern lives. Please bring a picture or other memento of a departed loved one to church to place on our Samhain alter.

Anne will explore the Sept 2019 Soul Matters Theme of Expectation. “We crave order and control and predictable patterns in this life. When we can’t find them (because they mostly do not exist), we get anxious and we make them up, imposing our will or our opinion or our expectations of ourselves, of everybody else, all over the place, and when the universe rears up on its hind legs and says, “Well, actually no. You’re not the boss of the world, and this is not how it’s gonna go,” we are mightily disrupted”

Water Communion/In Gathering – Paul Mitchell & Teri Rockwood
Like water flowing to the sea, we have returned from the lakes, rivers and quiet places where we spent some of our days this past summer and once again return to our beloved community at the Marquette Unitarian Universalist Congregation. September is often the month when the members and friends settle back in to a more regular attendance with our beloved community.
As we come together for our Water Communion Service, members and guests are invited to bring water from their summer adventures, be they from travels far or near (even from your home water supply). We will be sharing our stories with each other as we participate in our uniquely Unitarian Universalist ritual of water communion. You will pour your water into a common vessel and let the story of it mingle with others and become part of our beloved community. Please be prepared to offer a sentence or two, not only where the water is from but perhaps more importantly, what meaning it holds for you.
This is an Intergenerational Service.

Followed By…PHOTO OP

All MqtUU Members and Friends are encouraged to attend this Sunday so that we may not only share about what we did this summer but also update our congregational photo!

“Seeking Commonality–Finding Pain” – Paul Mitchell
The compelling work of Unitarian Universalism today is to recognize the lived experience of people and ideas that have been systemically marginalized. I believe this effort will eventually lead to a deeper understanding of our common humanity. Navigating our path to that deeper understanding includes encountering pain, but more than that pain may be the most powerful tool we have to build that connection.

2019-08-12 11:00 - 14:00 | MqtUU Meeting House, 1510 M-28 East, Marquette, MI, 49855, United States

He was born in East Detroit, Michigan on August 11, 1947 to the late William and Geraldine (Morrison) Redmond. Dan grew up in East Detroit and went to school at St. Peter’s Lutheran School and then graduated from East Detroit High School in 1965. Being a “car guy” and following graduation, he gained an apprenticeship with Chrysler and mastered the tool and die trade which was a skill he carried throughout his life. Dan married Sarah J.

He had worked for General Dynamics, Davis Industries and Transform Automotive. During his career he became an engineer program manager and his specialty was transmissions. Dan has his name on a transmission patent with the Ford Motor Company. He and Sarah enjoyed spending their retirement time between their beloved Shelter Bay community and Summerville, SC. He was a long-time member of the Hiawatha Interpretive Association Board and the Marquette Unitarian Universalist Church in Harvey. He enjoyed the outdoors and especially loved tennis, golf, and fishing.
Dan is survived by his wife of over thirty-one years – Sarah Smith Redmond of Shelter Bay, MI; children – Jennifer Lynn Hale of Summerville, SC, Jeffery D. (Stephanie Stockwell) Hogg of East China, MI, and Karen M. (Fergal) Murphy of Kensington, MD; six grandchildren – Justin David Hogg, Cassandra Jade Hogg, Katherine Francis Murphy, Brendan Bartlett Murphy, Loren Charles Hale, and Ashlee Marie Hale; sisters – Nancy (Bruce) Vick of Grosse Pointe Shores, MI and Carole (Bill) Schram of Carmel, IN; and nieces and nephews.
