Sunday, March 19, 2023: SUNDAY SERVICE
Hybrid: Sanctuary / Zoom
Speaker: Rev. Dr. Michelle Pederson
Topic: Opening to Grief
What would it look like if we allowed ourselves to grieve loss well? Often, our first instinct is to ignore, or try to push away the pain of loss. It is in becoming open, vulnerable to the pain, accepting, acknowledging, and holding our pain that suffering is reduced.
Rev. Michelle is a Spiritual Director and GNUUC-affiliated community minister. Michelle supports people in their desire to grow in their relationship with the transcendent by means of reflective questions and contemplation. She provides a safe space and non-judgemental presence for exploration of mystery and meaning.
Join us for a Sanctuary/Zoom Hybrid Service. During a hybrid service, you can attend either in person or virtually. The goal of the hybrid service is to make the experience of attending a service as similar as possible whether you were attending in person or virtually. If you are attending virtually, you will be able to see and to be seen. You will be able to see the speaker, the pulpit, and the surrounding area, you will be able to see the chalice and people who come up to share joys and concerns. You will be able to hear the speaker, music, and questions and comments from those in attendance, and joys and concerns. You will be able to share joys and concerns much as we have done in virtual services, and those attending in person will be able to see and hear you—Zoom will be projected on the screen in the sanctuary. Attending virtually or in person, you will see and hear, and be seen and be heard.
Please review the Indoor Hybrid Meeting Policy. In the Sanctuary, we will take attendance at the door. Masks are not required for Children’s RE or lunch in the Fellowship Hall.
