Service – August 2nd
One Service at 10:30 am; in person and online at uuaa.org/service
Gaia, Mother Earth and the Oneness of Everything
A worship service with musician Jim Scott
Please join us this Sunday for a music focused serve led by Jim Scott. Jim intersperses original songs and readings with his personal reflections on a spiritual ecological awareness. The idea of Mother Earth or “Gaia” being a living organism with the same physical attributes as humans connects us with our life support system. Our “spiritual response” is so needed now, as “the spirit of life on earth is in crisis.” Jim’s uplifting songs provide the balance to the wake up call, leaving participants with a vision and inspiration to take the healing into our own hands.
From his work with the Paul Winter Consort, where he was co-composer of their celebrated Missa Gaia/Earth Mass Jim has long been an activist for peace and the Earth with his music. Jim’s songs are in our UU Hymnbooks and he’s visited over 700 UU churches. Former Co-chair of the UU Ministry for the Earth, Jim helped create the “Green Sanctuary” program and his “Earth and Spirit Songbook,” supported by a grant from the Fund for Unitarian Universalism, has been widely acclaimed by UU congregations.
One service at 10:30am. There is a social hour following the service. Join us for coffee and conversation; learn more about how you can engage with our UUAA activities.
