Rev. Pat Jobe will be with us again virtually on Dec. 13. He has a number of friends who worship at the altar of understanding, especially at an intellectual level, at a level that offers to explain everything. But of course, that is not the whole story. Understanding as empathy, compassion, love, shared space, all of that can be a healing balm in a world gone crazy. He also wants us to know that he misses being with us.

Winter is the Season for Holidays! In nearly every Culture and Country since recorded history, man has found a way to deal with the dark days and long nights to bring light into the world. Join us December 6th at 10:00 a.m. to learn how they worked this magic.
Almost, but not all cultures have a way to speak to the suspicion that there is a divine spark in the human condition. Today's message will try to examine that very human experience.
Is not growing spiritually a lifeline to our joy, contentedness, hope, meaning and purpose, and living in the moment of this life? We will explore some of these ideas in a message of hope in and reliance on our inclination toward spiritual growth.
We all look with horror at the international pandemic. But what about ourselves...our faith, our values, our living? How are we holding up? Maybe we could us a "spiritual check-up."
This message suggests our growth in spirituality may be found in the heart of wonder and awe. Perhaps we have yet to draw deeply from that well.
“And there is no greater gift to bestow on children than the gift of curiosity. Effective leaders, even great ones, accept that they don’t have all the answers. But they know how to ask the right questions" James E. Ryan, Wait, What?
Over the years I've been asked scores of questions as a minister. I'll try to answer a few of them and perhaps challenge you for your answers as well
As Unitarian Universalists we love the questions, sometimes more than the answers. It can even be a form of mental illness. But what are the best questions? How do we narrow our focus to the most important interplay between questions and answers? Do our questions bring us to a place of calm and confidence that might empower us to move forward? Or do our questions jangle our nerves and leave us feeling like nothing we do will make any difference? And finally does the process work better some days than others? Dare we dream a cool, calm confidence?
