Curiosity, Empathy and Compassion
Sermon by Rev. Pam McMillan

Lessons learned from being chaplain include values of curiosity, empathy, and compassion. Rev. Pam will reflect on these qualities and how they work in the real world, especially in crisis, to make us a better person.

Rev Pam Mcmillan is a United Methodist minister, hospice chaplain and frequent speaker at our Fellowship.

Children's Religious Education Sunday at 10:30 am:
Picture
The Youth RE committee oversees the children's Sunday morning RE program, as well as special events during the year, including a one-week ANT (Art, Nature, Theater) Camp each summer. The children begin their Sunday in Friendship Hall with their families and after the opening hymn, come forward for the chalice lighting and the Children’s Affirmation before being sung off to the Sunday school room for their lesson and accompanying activities, provided by teacher Kim Kroflich.  Lessons are provided for children ages 5-12, and child care for those younger than 5, concurrent with the adult Sunday morning service.

The committee is responsible for providing a teacher and a teen assistant for the children's RE and overseeing their work as well as maintaining the rooms where the children's activities take place to make sure they are attractive and welcoming as well as safe for children of all ages.  For our curriculum, we use the Tapestry of Faith units available for downloading from the UUA website.  Teen programs are also available whenever there is sufficient need and participation.

A final important job of the committee is to publicize the children's program and attract more young families to Friendship Fellowship.  We welcome new members to the Youth RE Committee, so if you are interested in working with the children and joining us, please see chair Ruth Rodgers.

What Is Unitarian Universalism?

If you'd like to get a better idea of what Unitarian Universalism is and whether our way of responsibly searching for truth and meaning might be for you, this welcome written by our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Dr. John M. Higgins, gives a quick preview:

"Welcome to this place.

This is a place where no revealed truths are promoted and no scripture or human being accepted as infallible. It is a place for searching for truth, but we are believers.

We believe in intellectual freedom, we believe in justice, we believe in compassion, and for concern for each other and for the whole world. We believe in commitment to those ideals which make us active in the struggle for human dignity.
We are Unitarian Universalists."


Who is Unitarian Universalist Friendship Fellowship?
Born of the liberal Unitarian Universalist tradition and dedicated to the principles of a free faith, Friendship: We welcome all who long for a free and open atmosphere in which to search for their own faith, expand their spiritual horizons, or find new ways to interact with the world in which they live. We welcome diversity of belief and lifestyle because everyone deserves the stimulation of an intellectually active, emotionally supportive and socially conscious community.

 - The inherent worth and dignity of every living person
 - Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
 - Acceptance of one another and encouragement in spiritual grown in our congregations
 - A free and responsible search for truth and reasoning
 - The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process
 - The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all
 - Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

This congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of persons in all our activities and endeavors, including membership, programming, hiring practices, and the calling of religious professionals without regard to race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age or national origin
