﻿Our First Principle Across the Ages: Multigenerational Worth & Dignity
2025-11-23 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington

This Sunday, Rev. Lee Anne and Robyn Travers explore “Our First Principle Across the Ages: Multigenerational Worth & Dignity.” We’ll reflect on why honoring the inherent worth of every person means honoring every age, and how our Friday Family Fun Nights are shaping a more connected, vibrant community.
After a short message, Rev. Lee Anne and Robyn will sit down for a conversation with the congregation about building a church where children, youth, adults, and elders learn from one another. All are warmly encouraged to join the dialogue as we imagine what multigenerational spiritual life can become.
*A bonus handout with suggestions for difficult conversations around the Thanksgiving table will be provided with the order of service.
**The Craft Group’s sale will immediately follow the service.

————————————-
The UUCNH Meditation Group will explore the contemplative practice of meditation. Together we will learn and practice various types of meditation, including meditation on breath, mindfulness meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. Sessions will last between 45-60 minutes, 30 of which will consist of guided meditation, with the remaining time reserved for questions and discussion. Please join us; no registration required.
Meditation is an ancient contemplative practice that permeates cultural and religious boundaries, with roots in most faith traditions. It can also be a totally secular practice. While our group will primarily explore meditation practices that are prominent in the Buddhist tradition, these teachings will be applicable to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, aligning with our Unitarian Universalist principles of acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
To begin, we will use guided meditation recordings from the Insight Meditation Center, specifically their Introduction to Mindfulness series. Each recording provides context and basic instruction, with additional guidance throughout the session. A gentle bell will signal the conclusion of the meditation, after which we can take a few minutes to reflect and share our experiences. We may also incorporate a brief loving-kindness meditation at the beginning to help settle and gladden the mind, making it more conducive to mindfulness meditation. Our program will evolve over time, and we welcome feedback and suggestions.
Our group embraces this timeless spiritual practice to foster a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. Whether you seek insight, relaxation, or a sense of community sitting together in silence, we welcome you to join us on a journey of mindfulness, concentration, and compassion.

E - Ukulele Group
2025-11-24 19:00 - 20:00 | East Room
Bring your ukulele, music and a table stand if you have one. If not come anyway. We are good at sharing and often have an extra uke or two. If you are not sure that you are interested in joining the group, come and see what it’s like and then decide. Beginners welcome. It’s a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces. There’s something about ukulele that just makes me smile!

Deep Dive Sunday: Our First Principle & Handling Conversations Across Difference
2025-11-30 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington
This is the last Sunday of our five part series on how the First Principle applies to our dealings with people we don’t understand and often oppose. Building on last Sunday’s handout, we will take a deep dive into ways to apply our First Principle when we face difficult conversations with people whose point of view differs significantly from our own.
Using a short packet, small discussion groups will share ideas about how to handle two short scenarios. The packet includes individual reflection questions for at home use (or for those not wanting to participate in the discussion groups) and two spiritual practices for everyone to use. No research or electronic devices will be required. Expect this service to last 90 minutes.

Make a Joyful Noise - A Unitarian Perspective on Christmas
2025-12-07 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington

Join us this Sunday for a Christmas Carol service rooted in historic Unitarian tradition. Through beloved carols and brief reflections, we’ll journey from the angels’ song we seldom understand, to an honest look at the world’s pain, and finally to the joyful work of helping manifest a more just and hopeful world. Together we’ll rediscover the Christmas story not as a supernatural spectacle, but as a call to courageous clarity, acts of compassion, and enduring hope. Let the music lift your heart—and your resolve.
We will also hear The Mitten Tree and decorate our tree with mittens, scarves, and hats. Please remember to bring your contribution to the tree, whose decorations will be donated to North Hills Community Outreach.
