Our spiritual practice for April is Joy.
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) with guest Meg Martin, Director of Integrative Services at Interfaith Works, and longtime leader and advocate for the most vulnerable in our community. Meg will be sharing about the work and successes of Interfaith Works, the many ways they currently care and support those experiencing homelessness, and of plans for future care and services.

“Fear and Great Joy” with Rev. Mary Gear and Rev. Sara Lewis
On this Easter Sunday leading to Earth Day, in a time of grief and fear, we celebrate the great joy of resurrection and new life.
We will hold a Dirt Communion in this worship service. All are invited to bring a small cup or container of dirt or soil from your home, whatever home means to you.
There will be no After-Service Forum on April 20th — children are invited to join us for an Easter Egg Hunt instead!

“The Recombobulation Zone” with Rev. Nancy Reid-McKee
One of the things we can all expect is that change will happen. This is true for our personal lives, our communities and our church life. Change is unsettling, but we can and will adapt, one way or another. We will talk about how we recombobulate ourselves after feeling discombobulated!
Guest Minister Bio: Rev. Nancy Reid-McKee recently retired from the Northlake UU Church in Kirkland, WA. Rev. Nancy attended the Starr King School for the Ministry along with our Rev. Mary Gear, graduating in 2018. She did her internship at the UU Congregation at Shelter Rock in New York, has served our faith tradition as President of the Starr King Graduate Association, Vice-President of the UU Women’s Federation, and currently serves as Chair of the UU Commission on Social Witness.
