Guest speaker, Pastor Libby Hugus, will present “Mirror the Foreigner” from the Christian gospel of Luke 10:25-37. Mother Theresa said “if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Pastor Hugus visits us from The Table, a Casper religious community of “doubters + disciples together… a new missional community gathering for the practice of inclusive Christianity.”
Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Communion is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings (or is given) a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation blesses the flowers, and they’re redistributed. Each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought.

A re-awakening to the religious must include a special recognition of laughter. In healthy laughter at ourselves we abandon false dignity, false pride, and simply accept and enjoy whatever we are. Laughter is a sign of grace; not the decoration on the cake of spirituality but a fundamental ingredient, vital to our spirituality.

UU Sheridan member and UUA Mountain District Board President Victor Ashear summarizes and shares his personal beliefs about the five big theological questions “…as a way to evaluate where many UU’s stand now theologically compared to other faiths…”: 1. Who am I? 2. How do I know (what I know)? 3. Who or what is in charge (of the universe)? 4. What is my purpose in life (or How am I saved)? and 5. What does my death mean?

Don Benson will lead the annual UU Casper Burning Bowl service, a ritual to bid farewell to the old year, and welcome the new: reflecting on and releasing the areas of our lives that no longer serve our highest good: we look forward, creating goals that will advance our journey in the coming year.
During this ritual, all are invited to write down on a piece of paper what they wish to release from the past year. They then come forward to burn the paper as an act of symbolic farewell. Participants will then write down their wishes for their lives in the new year, and place wishes in sealed, self-addressed envelopes, which will be kept private, then mailed to everyone during the summer of 2018.
