Yuri’s Night: Possibilities For What’s Next In Space Exploration
10:30 AM
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Edgar Allan and the Poe Boys, Sheila Malenski, Chair of Membership, Marianne DeBow, and new members
Sixty-five years ago, tonight, Yuri Gagarin embraced the possibility of space flight and boarded the Vostok 1 spaceship. Now, on the evening of April 12th, parties are held around the world to promote curiosity about space and what might come next in space exploration to understand the universe and our place in it. This morning, we celebrate Yuri’s Night because it’s the kind of international holiday our world needs now! Edgar Allan and the Poe Boys have selected cosmic songs that will transport you out of this world! If you have space themed attire, please wear it today! We will be welcoming our newest members to our UU universe

The Possibility of a Greener, Cleaner World
10:30 AM
Members of the Green Sanctuary Team, Jennifer Kunze of Clean Water Action, and music by Deborah “Spice” Kleinmann
As we celebrate Earth Day and the splendor of the natural world we live in, we are aware that the world is hurting from manmade activities. We must, however, believe in the possibility that we can do better, that the earth can be healed and that life can thrive. Jennifer Kunze from Clean Water Action will tell us what has been happening in our state and locally to make this possibility a reality.

Hope Is An Embrace of the Unknown and the Unknowable
10:30 AM
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Dr. Daniel Bassin and the TUUC Choir
When I first read these words by Rebecca Solnit, I began to argue with her in my head. It would be hard for me to embrace what I did not know when it came to the cruelty of ICE; the callousness of canceling USAID; the destruction and misery caused by billions of dollars’ worth of bombs being dropped. You can add to this litany of what you did not know a year ago that you know today. However, this is not what Rebecca Solnit meant when she wrote about hope. What is hope? What does it ask of us? How does it guide us to embrace possibilities for a better future?
