2022-07-24 11:00 - 12:00
Phil and Susan are musicians whose repertoire includes a great deal of music that is hundreds of years old. They will share their reflections on how that music, and the stories of the people and events behind it, has not only enhanced their own lives, but has also opened the minds of many of their listeners to the power of history. Phil and Susan will wear period garb for this service, and attendees are encouraged to do likewise if they wish!

“Mist Around The Bend – On the Possibility of Alternate Realities,” presented by February Sky
2022-08-21 11:00 - 12:00
From the old Irish tales of the Faerie folk and the English legend of Avalon, to modern vampire lore and ghost stories, stories of other realities co-existing with our own, although not ordinarily accessible to us, are common in cultures all over the world. Do alternate realities actually exist, or are they pure fantasy? Do they become “real” when we have the experience of brushing up against them? We will consider these questions in song and spoken word.

Homecoming Sunday, Water Communion Service with Phil Lund of the UUA, followed by potluck picnic lunch and a workshop with Phil Lund on the future of the congregagtion.
2022-09-18 11:00 - 15:00
To be hopeful in these hard times is more than being foolishly romantic, according to historian Howard Zinn. It does, however, require some effort on our part. The good news is that every congregation can tap into the energy it needs to act to make this world a better place. Find out how we can – individually and collectively – behave magnificently in defiance of all hurt and heartbreak around us. The service will include the traditional UU Water Communion – our annual “welcome back” service brings us back together from a variety of travels. We bring a small sample of water to symbolize our journeys, joining them together (it’s OK to just bring water and tell us what it symbolizes).

Service - "Hearken Now, the Darkness Comes," on the last-harvest holiday of Samhain (Celtic New Year or Halloween), presented by February Sky
2022-10-16 11:00 - 12:00
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 altar.

First meeting of Music & Myth Mondays - click for more info
2022-10-17 17:30 - 19:00
At the meeting house. Since ancient times, stories and song have been sacred pathways to Spiritual celebration, communication, insight, wisdom and communion. Join us for this fun, informal, intergenerational program aimed at exploring the richness of human mythology, the Spiritual potency of music and the fellowship of sharing these things as a means of becoming closer to Divine truth.
What to expect: For all ages! We will share a sampling of selected mythology, songs and stories as a framework for discussions and reflection. We will also engage various instruments, guest musicians and free-form sound and movement activities. Each Monday evening session will have an element of structure, and an element of ‘free exploration’ intended to welcome participants into the self-guided space of how music, stories and movement can be an individual and group spiritual practice. Feel free to bring instruments, your own favorite myths, stories, poems or oral traditions. From local Anishinaabe stories to ancient Polynesian Mythology to Irish Faerytales and much, much more – we look forward to exploring these topics as an extension of UU’s core principles and beliefs.

Service Presentation by Keith Glendon, "In Honor of the Divine Feminine - a Service of Spiritual Storytelling."
2022-10-30 11:00 - 12:00
With relationship to Spirituality that is grounded in nature, Keith Glendon has a perspective to offer in the form of storytelling about his own journey of spiritual connection, nourishment and guidance.

As a man, as a father, a son, a husband and a spiritual being – his journey thus far has revealed to him the importance of the Divine Feminine in his own relationship to Creator, to God energy, to the oneness of all.

This service is in honor of the Divine Feminine and the role this concept has played and continues to play in his spiritual journey, and is offered as a gift and as a parable that may be helpful to others on their own paths.

Having the courage to admit that not only are we imperfect, but we absolutely need each other, is not only courageous but the only perfect, self-sustaining thing to do.

At the beginning of the year, he spent five months as the sabbatical minister at Emerson UU in Canoga Park and is currently doing a year-long residency as a chaplain at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
