Upcoming Sunday Service
August 30 @ 10:30 AM
Flourishing in the Web of Life: A Blessing of the Animals
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Ember and Corrine Hauf, Joni Potts, Kris Faatz
When you think of the interdependent web of all existence, what image comes to mind? Do you see a spider’s web? Or do you see the more abstract Indra’s jeweled net?
Do you see, in your mind’s eye, the creature who greets you at the door? Or the one who gently (and sometimes not so gently) puts its paw on your face to wake you for breakfast? Do you see the creature swimming in a bowl or the one singing from a cage? Do you see hooves galloping across a field? The web of life is woven with wagging tails; paws used as washcloths; unfurled wings; fins gliding through water; and other wondrous creatures who share this beautiful, fragile earth with us.
To conclude our summer exploration of the theme of flourishing together, today you are invited to bring your pet(s) to be blessed. Bring your well-behaved pets for an individual blessing, or bring a photo or memento to honor animals who cannot attend or who live on in memory.
If you will be joining us on Zoom, or if your pet would prefer to NOT be in the Meeting Room, please send a photo of your pet to revclare@towsonuuc.org by Sunday, August 23. A few words about how your pet was/is a blessing will be very helpful!
Today we celebrate the interdependent web of life and renew our commitment to creating a world where all beings can flourish.

Our Mission and Vision
Our Mission is to deepen our ethical and spiritual lives together as we work for racial, social, and environmental justice.
Our Vision is to be an intentionally inclusive community engaging with each other and the world in a heartfelt search for truth and meaning.
Join us!
The best way to discover us is to worship with us on Sunday morning—either online or in the building. Everyone is welcome. You will find a religious community dedicated to walking together in the ways of truth known or to be made known to us. Love is at the center of our faith tradition. Our partners in the wider community serve human needs for food, shelter, education, dreams, and healthy natural environments.

Director of Religious Education (DRE)
I belong to TUUC because it is a church home where I find a community, classes, get-togethers, and events of education and spirituality. It is where my beliefs are respected and we join together in diversity and peace. I love to learn about different religious beliefs, writings, and philosophies without being told what to believe or limited by religious dogma. I like that rather than dogma, there are values and goals that support human dignity, equality, compassion, justice, and respect for nature.
