As the leaves turn and the weather turns cold, our thoughts often turn to the change of season. What lessons can we glean from the season’s change and our human response?

On this special Sunday we will celebrate the message of Unitarian Universalism, support the Association that supports us, and raise energy as we move forward in our mission of becoming a beacon for Unitarian Universalist values in Bucks and Montgomery counties and a haven for all who would find a home here. This service will include a special collection to honor our commitment to the Joseph Priestley District and the Unitarian Universalist Association.

The Alternatives to Violence Program, with which Rev. Schatz worked during his sabbatical, emphasizes the idea of a Transforming Power within each of us. What is Transforming Power, and how can we use it for personal and social change?

Rev. Jerry Johnson, a retired American Baptist minister, will share his spiritual journey since he began attending BuxMont in 2008. He became a member that year and is now serving on several committees. Although his Christian faith was very liberal and far from orthodox, he still considers himself a Christian and has joined UU Christians. His reflections will include his modified Christian beliefs, current spiritual practice and hope for continued spiritual formation here at BuxMont.

In the season of turning, of the Jewish high holy days and of nature’s changes, how might we renew our spirits for the work before us?
