His followers claim that a certain teacher and friend of the poor rose from the grave. Is there any value in such a story for Unitarian Universalists? Rev. Pat Jobe shows up for another Sunday with us offering that maybe someone who taught the ultimacy of love and generosity, and later outfoxed the executioner, might have lessons for those of us in the 21st century Lowcountry. Maybe, maybe not. Rev. Jobe said to tell all he misses his friends in the Lowcountry and looks forward to being together in person soon.
Dick and Charlie will team up for an open dialog on what is often life's most difficult discussion.
Memory Matters’ Sensitivity Training Program increases awareness of special needs of individuals living with mild to moderate forms of dementia and their caregivers. Attendees will learn effective interaction strategies specific to their environment, i.e. home, church, and other public places. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common type of dementia, often with unrecognized onset years before symptoms appear. Recognizing and understanding behaviors associated with dementia, and treating the person with dignity and respect, can be key to becoming a congregation sensitive to their needs.

The insurrection at our Capitol on January 6th was a graphic reminder of the fragility of democracy, even American democracy. But the threat runs deeper than politics and ideology. It is spiritual. It's the inability to put the common good before self-interest.

Bravery and courage may be big and bold and come at needful times...but this preacher sees the power of ordinary folk (you) doing everyday deeds.
A Special Note from Charlie Tyler: Our theme for this month is bravery. My message for the 28th revolves around " small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay". We are also in the middle of Black History month. I am offering two links for the congregation that might tie the two together. The links I'm offering are focused on ordinary people and the courage they bring to their every life. I'll be referencing these talks in my message. I'm hoping these links are helpful to the journey we are all on...together. Click The Links Below to view the information: THE MOTH A Black Mother Reflects
We are living through times that will be documented in history books and studied for decades (and possibly centuries) to come. Unprecedented crises surround us and it would be understandable if we all just headed for cover and waited for the storms to pass. But do we have a greater responsibility?

A look at three people from our UU background who dared: how they lived, how they died, how they live on.
Wow, talk about sparking up a bunch of UU’s, just say you want to do something in the name of Jesus. But there are hundreds of millions across the globe who have found something there. What if what we are all looking for is what stands behind that name? Sure many other hundreds of millions have found it in the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Pavarti, Quan Yin, and Gnesha and even reason, but what if reality is there behind the name of Jesus, too? With his usual zeal for rattling cages, Rev. Jobe asks the question and then offers an answer.
