An Easter service: “practice resurrection”

The story of Easter is central to Christianity, but its message of rebirth spans many religions, traditions, and cultures. Join us Easter Sunday for a Unitarian Universalist perspective. We’ll emphasize transformation, rebirth and a poet’s advice to “practice resurrection.” Plus, a story for kids.

The service begins at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Visitors and guests are welcome.

Bill Harlan

Our Easter speaker is Bill Harlan, whose spiritual path began among the Episcopalians. After “…a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous…” his path delivered him to us.

Bill is a past president of the Fellowship, and he coordinates Sunday services. He admits that his favorite Fellowship activities have been the tennis and bicycling, but he’s also attracted to the social activism and the commitment to support each other in our unique, responsible searches for truth and meaning.

Sunday services usually feature a speaker—either a member of the Fellowship or a guest—who offers a presentation aligned with the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. Services also include music, readings, meditation and a chance, always optional, to share your own thoughts. And this Easter, the kids will get involved.

We are non-denominational. In fact, we don’t share a creed. We do have beliefs, as individuals, but our members subscribe to a range of religious, philosophical and ethical traditions. What ties us together are respect for the dignity of all people and for the planet itself.

We’re friendly, too. If it sounds good, stop by on a Sunday morning.
