This Week In Religious Exploration
Sunday, May 9 – Storytelling: Once Upon A Time
How important is it to tell our stories and to listen to the stories that are unfolding all around us? The Rev. Scott Taylor shares:
We gather as a house of stories.
As we learn of those who have gone before,
the way in front of us becomes more clear.
As we weave together the tales of who we are,
our loneliness lessens and the web of our oneness is revealed.
Join Rev. Dr. Marjorie Matty and the congregation of First Parish as we engage this month’s theme of wonder, Storytelling.

April 2021 RE Lesson
When we think about commitment, we think first about our Unitarian Universalist commitment to asking questions and being curious. We encourage people to ask questions of wonder. We support people as they ask questions of doubt. Far from outlawing doubters and questioners, our faith places them at the center. So, what’s one of the ways our non-conformist faith guides us into becoming a people of Commitment? It tells us to “Never lose your commitment to being curious!”

This Week In Religious Exploration
April 2021 RE Lesson
Building Beloved Community and journeying toward spiritual wholeness isn’t easy. The proposed 8th UU Principle invites us to “accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.” Dismantling means taking apart something which has been built up.Racism has been built up for over 400 years. If we want to do it, we must commit to the long haul and the hard work. And when that hard work gets really hard, we will be tempted to quit or run away. So, what’s one of the ways our faith guides us into becoming a people of Beloved Community? It tells us “Don’t run away when things get hard!”
