Pieces of Truth
Reverend Connie Grant
Erica Whichello, Worship Associate
If Unitarian Universalism is a religion of “deeds, not creeds,” why does it matter—or does it matter?—what we individually and collectively “believe”?

“If You’re Going to Go through Hell, Just Don’t Come Out Empty-handed”
Reverend Barbara Child, guest speaker
Reverend Connie Grant
This morning’s sermon title is a quotation from Kate Bowler, a professor at Duke Divinity School, who spoke this summer at Chautauqua Institution, not only about her theology but also about her personal life as a cancer patient and – so far – survivor. Listening to her talk was an invitation to think about the gifts we give others when we share with them the truths of our lives, even the awful truths. Rev. Child is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister and pledging friend of UUCB, and serves as consultant to our Chalice Circles program.
Looking ahead...
September 10
Ingathering (Water communion service)
Water is life-giving and life-sustaining. Whether or not we’ve been “away” in recent months, we’ll bring together the waters that symbolize where we have been and what we all bring to this religious community. Please bring a vial of water from your travels near or far (or from your backyard) as we celebrate the beginning of the “church year.”
