"What Time is It?"

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven."

The book of Ecclesiastes suggests that there is a time and season for everything. Let's explore that idea together.

NOV 16 | "We Are Grateful to Our Sponsors: In Gratitude to Our Ancestors," SaraRuth Wekoye Davis, Guest Speaker — In-person & Zoom

Who are our Sponsors, those who nourished us into existence? Gratitude, at its foundation, is to be thankful for life, for our part and place in this life, and to honor our Sources of Life in each moment of our existence. We will explore together, Our Sponsors, and how we might be the Sponsors worthy of the Life flowing from us, with wisdom texts, both new and old.

 NOV 23 | "Grounding in Connection," Rev. Kathryn Adams, Minister — In-person & Zoom

As we enter this holiday season, I want to ground us in how we communicate. We have talked a lot about communicating across differences. During the autumn harvest season, we may have some opportunities to communicate across differences with people we love. Author Charles Duhigg helps us unlock the language of connection. May we use this language of connection in living our values and to bring joy, love, and transformation.

Calling all Soup Makers, Bread Bakers, Dessert Creators,

and Everyone Who Enjoys Soup, Bread, and Dessert!

(and libations)

Here’s UUCR’s next, most cozy, “fun”draising event: On Friday evening, December 12, we will host a “Soup Sampler Supper“ at UUCR. One of the delights of the evening is that you can enjoy a wonderful meal with us and still have plenty of time to get to the Chester River Chorale’s Holiday Concert, which starts at 7:30 pm at the Presbyterian Church of Chestertown, our neighbor on Gateway Drive. Come early, bring friends! 

Ten different soup makers will each bring a crockpot full of their favorite/best soup, and five or more different bread makers will each bring homemade loaves. A cadre of bakers will bring in an array of desserts as well. Coffee will be on hand, along with juice, wine, water, etc. Tickets are $25 each and may be purchased at UUCR after Sunday Services on November 9, 16, 23, and 30 and December 7. Or, to reserve a ticket, contact any of our Soup Supper Team: Linda Dutton, Jane Hardy, Joy Kim, and Mary Pritchard. But don’t delay; this has become a popular event, and we have a full house every year. 

We are still looking for soup chefs (bisques, chowders, and chilis are also most welcome), bread makers, and dessert makers. Yes, we need YOU! Please contact our Soup Supper Team, names above, if you’d like to contribute; our chefs and bakers need not buy tickets for the event.

Look for more details in upcoming Reflections, and be sure to mark your calendars for a grand time on Friday evening, December 12, 5:30 - 7.

Rev. Kathryn's office hours on the first Thursday will be canceled in November. Please call or text to set up an appointment as needed.
