With spring now sprung, Rev. Norris delivers his message to the Greeley Church in concert with other Unitarian Universalist congregations around the country who are called by the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee on this Justice Sunday to witness for climate justice.
​

​"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit," noted the great Unitarian Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. This week Rev. Norris unpacks the history of Unitarian and Universalist inspirations found in nature and what they can teach us today.

​Abandoned in place.  Forgotten.  Revived and thriving.  Are we talking about our Self or Chernobyl?  We examine the dynamic process of succession by Nature and the amazing lessons Nature continues to teach us about living in a place considered to be uninhabitable. 

Happy Losar! Translation from Tibetan (lo = new + year = sar) Losar, the is the beginning of the new year celebrated in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and India, February 5-7, 2019.

Keeping with our theme of Love, Rev. Norris will be in the pulpit for the second time in two weeks asking us to consider how difficult it is to maintain a loving outlook and disposition at times and, quite frankly, whether on occasion it is really worth it. One of the questions he'll dare to ask is: Is Love worth it?
​

​The Psalmists John, Paul, George and Ringo once famous sung "All you need is Love!" In our month of Love, Rev. Norris will have us put that idea to the test in this exploration service. We will explore various ideas and aspects of Love and ask whether, if we agree that Love is the answer, exactly what kind of love are we talking about.

On the 90th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, Rev. Norris will ask us to think about what "the dream" meant and begin with King's observation: "The end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community." 

​Rev. Norris asks this week: What is Community and Why Does it matter? After spending the past few months talking about calling and responsibility and focusing in December on Family, we will expand our focus to something wider: community. Using the southern African philosophy of Ubuntu as a touchstone for a broader conversation about how we might walk in this world.
