What Grows Here? Spiritual Leadership in Times of Change
Led by the Religious Services Committee
Many churches and religious institutions these days are facing uncertainty about their futures. Rather than focusing on what is lacking, what if we chose instead to tend the seeds that have already been planted in our communities? What future of connectivity and thriving can we imagine together for the community within the walls of this church, and beyond? Join us for an exploration of how we might engage the practices of spiritual leadership to meet this moment in history

Can we build an island of sanity together?
This Sunday in the month-long theme of possibility, deals with community in the context of the following question: While world events and national circumstances continue to be galling, can we build an island of sanity together? I think we can. It’s easy to take for granted a place like Murray. It has been around for generations. Yet, when we look beneath the surface, we find that it was an island of sanity all along for a people who saw the rigid Protestant and Catholic faiths around them as restrictive and controlling. The island of sanity that is Murray for the current generations may look different from it did 150 years ago, but it serves a similar purpose.

Service, Woke Art of Getting Curious

The Woke Art of Getting Curious
Led by Rev. F. Vernon Wright V
Our overarching theme this month is “awakening curiosity”. Beyond the fact that curiosity was an early trait in our Unitarian and Universalist history, this Sunday, we will focus on how to get curious. What are the prerequisites of curiosity? What are the things that get in the way of curiosity? How can Murray church become a more curious community? This is important because lots of people are scared of curiosity and do what is in their power to limit it in the conformity of traditionalism.

Service begins at 10 a.m. This is a hybrid service. Join us in the sanctuary or log on to Zoom from the comfort and safety of your own home to participate in our worship experience. Service ends at 11 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship.

Faith in Fate: The Power of Community
Led by Jason Zilch
Unitarian Universalism, in part, is about tapping into the power of community. Our ancestors worked together to build Stonehenge, the pyramids, and cathedrals “one stone at a time.” At Murray, we foster a sense of community through the food pantry, thrift shop, caring circle, and clothing swaps. Our faith compels us to build a better world for our children and their children’s children. Perhaps it is our fate to do so?

Reflecting on our past and future through the present moment
As we celebrate a milestone birthday of 250 years, this moment begs us to reflect, acknowledge, and appreciate our country – while knowing we have miles to go and work to do. Can we celebrate while there is so much injustice and devastation? Can the power of the present moment bring about a more perfect union in our future?

On Solitude
Led by Monica Staaf
Spending time alone can give us time for reflection and peace, but it can be hard to find in days full of long hours at work, family responsibilities, and never-ending “to-do” lists. Henry Thoreau “went into the woods” to live on his own at Walden Pond, but he didn’t have to do his own laundry. Most of us may not be able to retreat to a cabin, but we can still find ways to create solitude in our daily lives.

Many families and their friends are affected by alcoholism. Join us as members of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and Al-Anon (Al-Anon Family Groups) share their experience, strength, and hope on their journeys using a free, widely used self-help program. The only requirement for membership in AA is a desire to stop drinking alcohol, and in Al-Anon, having a friend or family member who is affected by alcoholism. Anonymity is an important principle of both programs; however, our presenters are open about their recovery.
