Rev. Megan Lynes, guest minister
Whether in personal relationships or congregational life we are in a constant dynamic dance of communication. So often we hold back important parts of ourselves to feel safe. At other times we initiate the dance, but step on toes. What relationships in your life need tweaking? What would that look like? Together we’ll heighten our awareness of our own roles and expectations within personal relationships and in community life.
Rev. Megan Lynes grew up UU in the Boston area, and was ordained in 2008 by the congregation of Canton MA, where she did her student ministry. Megan’s ministry has included serving as a chaplain at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, nine years as the Parish Minister of the First Parish in Bedford, MA, and two years as the Minister of Faith Formation at the First Church in Sterling, MA. She took a break during the pandemic to stay home with her 3-year-old son full time, and is now serving another contract year with the First Parish in Bedford. Megan is a single mom by choice and lives in Stow with her best friend, her son Jesse, two cats, and six chickens.

Brené Brown said, “Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat; it’s understanding the necessity of both; it’s engaging. It’s being all in.” This sermon will explore both the difficulties and benefits of being vulnerable and open.

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum
Rev. Cindy is once again challenged by a great “auction sermon” topic! This year, one of two auction sermons is on decolonization, and how “white saviorism” is demonstrated in literature and film from early films all the way through to The Help and Avatar. We’ll look at popular entertainment, but then all the way into our stories within our own faith. How does knowing this change how we work towards decolonization?

Our vespers series this year will be a spiritual service focused around how we refresh, rejuvenate, build community, and draw spiritual support for the work of justice. This month we will focus on racial justice and how we continue to engage in the work towards racial equity. Come join us for a peaceful service between our peace vigil and choir rehearsal times on the fourth Thursday of the month.

A religious youth-empowerment program reveals how teen empowerment is nothing to mess with. When we find a sense of belonging at the most tender times in our lives, we thrive as adults. Join FPC member Lindsay LaPointe as she offers an inside look at the process and themes that have emerged during her creation of the documentary Why Are You You?

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum
“God is Love” is something written on many altars and church walls across the nation, particularly Universalist ones. We know what it is to be a church built on a theology that is theistic. What does it mean to be a church built on a theology of love? This service will look back into Universalism and forward into the future in answering this question.

The UU Principles are actually part of the UUA bylaws, and periodically we review them. Changes to them are being proposed for this year’s General Assembly. We’ll take a look at the principles’ history and the current proposals in this service.
