Rev. Dr. Marjorie Matty will be speaking about the trinity as a means with which to discover the importance of sacred geometry in a search for truth and meaning. Trinities exist in our universe in patterns that connect us but what might it all mean?

Do you have a special somebody in your family that has four legs and holds a special place in your heart? Or maybe you have a two-legged pal with feathers or even a no legged companion with scaly yet supple skin? First Parish of Sudbury welcomes your interspecies friends and family to worship with us on October 6th at 10:00am. Please bring your pals to worship in cages, crates and on leashes for the blessing of the animals. For those extra special well-loved family members of the stuffed animal variety, and yes even your “My Little Pony” can come to worship this Sunday to be blessed! This will be an intergenerational worship and if you bring large animals the blessing will continue outdoors for horses, sheep, llamas or even those occasional white elephants that hang around. All are welcome as long as they are well behaved and not aggressive.

Join us as we explore deeper and more committed ways to live our Unitarian Universalist faith. How might the way we describe the way we “live our faith” transform our expression and commitment to it? What does it really mean to stand, speak, sing, act, or dance on the side of love? What other verbs can we use to express ways of living our faith? How do we balance our ideals with the real world where our UU principles can feel almost impossible to live by? Come be a part of a thought-provoking exploration of our Unitarian Universalist values and get inspired to go out and “do something on the side of love” today!
