Canvass Sunday
This Learning, Loving Congregation
Build Our Future, Change the World
Gather together for our annual Canvass Service followed by the First Unitarian Canvass Luncheon. Our young people will also have a special program.
At our service this morning we will think together about the deepest meanings and purposes of our life together. What are we as a religious community in our times? What shall we be together? How shall we support our future?
Then we will join together in a festive community meal, learn more about our vision and hopes for the future and what kind of commitment we are beckoned to make. Please bring your pledge card, which came in the canvass brochure, to the luncheon.

Sermon: Rev. Nina Grey
Feeding Our Spirits
In a faith which draws from many paths for our inspiration, how do we feed our spirits? How can we nurture the many and also keep a sense of the unity of us all?

Rev. Nina D. Grey
Inner and Outer Life
For some, spiritual connection comes from silence, for some it comes in solitude and aloneness, for some it is awakened by relationship with all of nature. Is it truly spiritual if it only involves inner feeling? Does our faith call us to express our spiritual sensibility by responding to life's challenges and opportunities? What do you believe about the relationship of spiritual life and prophetic living?
