August Worship Continues Less Liturgy

We will continue our liturgy with less written in throughout August and into September. This means that your help is needed. Please consider bringing something that you can share during the service. You can use something someone else has written, you teach a simple song, you can write your own prose or poetry.

Each week we need readings/songs/poems that work for each of the following:

• Invoking Spirit
• Acknowledging our Need for God
• Now Testament
• Prayer of Thanksgiving after Communion
• Closing Poem or Reading (can be added before the benediction or can be the benediction)

The themes for each week in August are:

• August 25: Ray Hommeyer preaches, theme: I can’t remember a time when, as a kid, I wasn’t concerned about what was good and how I could be good. After many years wrestling with the idea of goodness, I now question the helpfulness of the question. With help from “Inside Out 2” and the story of Rahab, join me in exploring and honoring the ambivalence of characters and their stories, and what their wholeness could mean for our own lives and our collective pursuit towards justice and peace. Text: Joshua 2.Ray Hommeyer is a seminarian at United Theological Seminary, living with beloved friends west of the Mississippi in Minneapolis. They grew up attending Unity Church-Unitarian in St. Paul and, after college, worked at Unity in Children and Family Ministries for six years. Ray loves to dance, sing, nerd out about theology, organize for peace and justice, and float in sunny waters.
