October Service Schedule

October 1 – The Grace of Stones – Rev. Leaf Seligman, Guest Minister
We are pleased to welcome Rev. Leaf back to our pulpit this year.  In this service, she invites us to engage more with grace which she defines as spiritual generosity without forethought of merit.

October 8 – Indigenous People’s Day – Rev. Jane Thickstun
There is a movement to rename the holiday we know as Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day. In this spirit, let’s look at the issues Native Americans face and how we can help to heal all the harm our European invasion has done.

October 15 – Article II: Purposes & Covenant  – Chris Pera
As we continue to discuss the proposed change to the UUA Article II:  Purposes and Covenant, Chris will reflect on one of the Core Values surrounding our spiritual discipline of Love.

October 22 – Season of Preparing – Cheryl Jacques
It’s important to prepare for lean times: to gather up what you have in abundance, preserve it, and store it up. Can we do that with our spiritual well-being, like we do with a garden harvest? What might your future self need, that you can prepare now?

October 29  – Fifth Sunday Road Trip
Join UUSG as we visit a local UU congregation within 45 minutes of Gardner.  We will carpool and leave UUSG at 9:00 and return between
12:30 – 1:00.
