Sunday, April 6, 2025:
“Grant Me Serenity” with Rev. Michael Walker
Lutheran theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, wrote the now famous Serenity Prayer. The short-form of the prayer is widely used on posters and in meetings, and have been adopted by some Twelve Step programs as a mantra: “…[G]rant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, / Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” In this sermon, we will use the whole prayer as a starting point to discuss approaches to less-than-serene events in recent weeks, in this, our new post-election America.
12:15 pm Forum (onsite & online): “Know Your Rights” Training with SWIFT (Siding With Immigrant Families Together)
Sunday, April 13, 2025:
“A Theology of Trophic Cascades” with Rev. Monica Jacobson-Tennessen
Ecology teaches us that one change in an ecosystem creates many more and bigger changes that ripple out, as all the parts of the ecosystem affect each other. What does this offer to us to help our understandings of ourselves, our world, and the changes we can make?
12:15 pm Forum (onsite & online): Meg Martin from Interfaith Works

Sharing from the Heart
Do you have something that you’d like to share with the congregation during our Sharing from the Heart ritual? This might be an event in your life or a transition of some kind. If so, please email Minister@ouuc.org by 8:00 p.m. Saturday evening for inclusion in the Sunday service. If received after that, we will share it the next Sunday.
