Sept. 3 Sept. 10 Sept. 17 When our 3rd principle says, “encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations,” what does it mean? Does it apply only to individuals, or to the entire congregation? If Unitarian Universalism is to remain relevant, perhaps it’s time for us to embrace the spiritual discipline of love and move from a spirituality of “me” to one of “we.” 3rd UU Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; Kids Theme: Welcoming Newcomers Phillip Lund has twenty years experience serving congregations in the areas of faith formation and spiritual growth, first as a religious educator in Bloomington, Indiana, New York City, and Chicago, Illinois, and most recently as a congregational life consultant working for the MidAmerica Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

We bid you welcome, who come with weary spirit seeking rest. Who come with troubles that are too much for you. Who come hurt and afraid.
We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart. Who come with anticipation in your step, who come proud and joyous. We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith. Who come to probe and explore. Who come to learn. We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming. Who have found here room for your spirit. Who find in this people a family. Whoever you are, whatever you are, wherever you are on your journey, we bid you welcome. Richard S. Gilbert |
