Nov 7: Holding History, Rev. Joan Montagnes
When we tear down the statues from the public square, remove the books from the public library, and cease to tell certain stories in public discourse, we need to be very careful not sweep our old history lessons under the rug. If we forget our past, we may be doomed to repeat it.
Thurs, Nov 11, 11am: Veteran's Day Service, Rev. Joan Montagnes
A short meditative service to hold precious those who put themselves in harms way in times of war. Not all injuries are fatal. Not all injuries are physical. Not everyone came home.
Nov 14: We are honored and excited to have India Walton speak from our pulpit this Sunday.
Sat, Nov 20, 7pm: Transgender Day of Remembrance, Rev. Joan Montagnes & Rev. Lisa Peterangelo
A short meditative service of grief and remembrance for transgender people who died through acts of violence this year. May the transformative power of Love overcome all hatred, oppression, fear, and indifference.
Nov 21: Being a Grace-Filled Guest, Rev. Joan Montagnes
It’s our Thanksgiving Service! This year we’ll give and receive. A food drive for the Amherst Unitarian Universalist Church Food Pantry and a covid-safe Communion of Blessings. A time to be both a gracious host and guest. See details about the food drive later in this email.
Nov 28: Telling a Different Story, Rev. Joan Montagnes
There is a danger in telling a single story. There is also a danger in telling an incomplete story. If we are to be a people who hold history well, we need to be mindful of that the world is made of many stories at the same time.
