Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom

Co-Minister, Lynn & Jerry Kerr

Many Americans demanded an end to slavery, but none were more eloquent and successful than Frederick Douglass.   Some slave owners in the South thought it might be dangerous to let a slave learn to read and right.  Boy were they right!  Born into slavery, young Frederick self-educated himself, escaped to the North and immediately began telling his story in print, and also from the stage as an engaging speaker.   Join us this Sunday and celebrate the work of a prophet who knew how put the horrors of slavery right into the faces of white Americans.   Also consider buying and reading the Pulitzer Prize winning book: “Frederick Douglass:  Prophet of Freedom,” by David Blight.  Then join our book study group starting on April 14^th.   You can get the meeting details by subscribing to our weekly E-newsletter.  Just go to our home page, then scroll down to “Subscribe to our Newsletter.”

Make Your Escape: Passover!

Co-minister, Jerry Kerr

Maybe you need to escape a modern-day Pharaoh who is making your life hell.  Or perhaps you just need to escape your own narrow way of thinking.  Either can keep you in bondage!  Join us this week as we revel in the ancient wisdom of Passover.

The Way of Forgiveness, and Flowers

Co-Minister, Lynn Kerr

Would you forgive a Nazi soldier as he lay dying, if you were a Jew imprisoned in his concentration camp?  This is the question that holocaust survivor Simon Wiesenthal asked in his groundbreaking book, The Sunflower.    With his book as a backdrop, we will explore forgiveness and celebrate flower communion with sunflowers, and with good reason!  The symbol of the Unitarian Church of Prague, Czechoslovakia is graced with images of sunflowers and Norbert Capek created the Flower Ceremony at the Prague Unitarian church before he was gassed to death at Dachau.   Join us for a spring tribute to the beauty of the Earth, and the act of sharing.

Please bring a flower or flowers (of any type!) to share.
