A Story Of Repair

10:30 am

(DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS TODAY)

Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Beth Myers-Edwards (from Amazing Grace Lutheran Church), Carel Hedlund, Marianne DeBow, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Tracy Hall, Music Director, and the TUUC Choir

At the end of September, as part of the UU Climate Justice Revival, we imagined what we would like to see in 2050. Some ideas, like a neighborhood bus that would go through neighborhoods on which one could purchase groceries, seemed novel and futuristic yet offered hope.

This morning, we lift up a real life story of repair. Thirty years ago, it seemed improbable that the part of Baltimore City with the highest homicide rate in the country could ever be anything but the basis for a fictional television series.

Yet, today, this neighborhood has community gardens, a prayer labyrinth, weather station and green grass to play & gather for events. It is a sacred space used to produce food and flowers, support pollinators like bees & butterflies and allows neighbors to gather for relaxation, prayer and serenity.

What can we learn from this story of repair and TUUC’s part in it?

Where Do We Go From Here?

10:30 am

Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Spice Kleinmann, Lizza Lewis, Tracy Hall, Music Director, and the TUUC Choir

The election was five days ago. Where do we go from here? Whoever wins the Presidential race, we will have work to do to live our values with love at the center. What will this work of repair and healing look like?

The Path from Despair To Serenity

10:30 am

Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Tracy Hall, Music Director, and the Community Choir

What is the meaning of life when life seems meaningless? This morning the author of Ecclesiastes; a modern philosopher; and a contemporary artist will be our guide on the path from despair to serenity.


Andrew Hager, Lay Worship Associate, Tracy Hall, Music Director, The TUUC Choir

What can an individual do when faced with corruption and institutional rot? How does one find the courage to face seemingly impossible odds?
