Is it possible to be too happy?

Did Jesus choose the theme of his first miracle to show everyone how much value he placed on having a good party? Maybe it was deeper that that. Maybe not. Let's have some fun talking about it!

We are born with a spark of joy in our souls, how it is nurtured or snuffed by growing up. A reflection on Father's Day.

Our congregation participated in a book study last year using Tom owen-Towle's book "Growing a Beloved Community, twelve hallmarks of a healthy congregation". Susan previously presented a summary of part of this book focusing on the Beloved Community. In her current talk, she will use the symbol of a "Faith Tree" to talk about the hallmarks of a healthy congregation and how awareness of these hallmaks can help our faith community become the best that it can be. Owen-Towle is a retired UU minister with 35 years of experience and provides encouraging and challenging mentorship relevant to the work of our congregation.
