‘Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy,’ the great twentieth-century Rabbi Abraham Heschel wrote. Unitarian Universalists affirm the inherent worth and dignity of each person as a given of faith—an unshakeable conviction calling us to self-respect and respect for others.

Our 6th UU source is not something far removed or designed only for others. We are, in many ways, all part pagan, and we should be proud of our "earth-centered traditions...and harmony with the rhythms of nature."
Rev. Hood acknowledges his debt to two sermons prepared in 2015 by Rev. Dr. J. Carl Gregg. Our Sixth Source for the Wisdom that informs our Seven Principles is the natural world, the observable cycle of life – what is sometimes called Pagan or Earth-Centered religion. In the Ancient world, this was the realm of Superstition and Fear-based thought; in the Modern world, it is the realm of Science.
Where does “Love” fit in? Is love a scientific concept, a natural phenomenon? Or is it purely a Social construct,, a tool to sell cards, candy and flowers? If it is one of these, what does it have to do with Religion? Let’s talk about it. This service was live streamed on our Facebook Page.

Pat Jobe brings along another minister on the journey to new spiritual horizons. Rev. Travis Smith is a veteran minister in both the Baptist and Methodist traditions, but has found friends among UU's and hopes his visit with Jobe and Lowcountry will inspire us. They may even pull off another dialogue like we heard on January 19, but don't bet the farm. That dialogue set the bar pretty high.

Charlie Tyler joins Rev. Pat Jobe to tell stories from their spiritual journeys, a sermon time that will continue into the discussion after service. Bring a spiritual story to share. What gets you out of bed in the morning and how does that energy compare to things you have learned as a spiritual pilgrim?

Straight from a performance at Music on Malphrus, Greg leads our Sunday Service. In the Name of Love: A Musical Service Internationally touring singer/songwriter will trace the universality of “Love Thy Neighbor” and connectedness through the lens of his writing. His songs are his journal of journey from his origins in the nostalgia of the South - Richmond, VA - to his full appreciation of the “inherent worth and dignity of all individuals.” ******* www.greggreenway.com “Greg Greenway is one of those artists who is so rich a talent that it is difficult to categorize him. He traverses, combines and mixes up musical genres, and manages to open a window on global events that bring us together as citizens of the world. Like other great performers before him, Greenway’s message is that we can all play a part and make a difference in the course of both our private and public lives. But few musicians can do just this with such style, passion and sheer musicality.” --Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange This Service was live streamed to our Facebook Page.

Together we will try to unpack this vital cornerstone of our faith. Sunday December 29, 2019 "To Hold Tightly... To Let Go" Rev. Charlie Tyler *Video and Audio*12/29/2019 A year, no, a decade is coming to an end. It's a normal time for introspection. Sunday, 12/29 we will try to revisit that elusive skill of learning what to hold on to, what to let go of and ... perhaps, how to know when both happens.
