Soul Purpose ~ The Serious and the Silly


What is our SOUL Purpose?
"May your life preach more loudly than your lips." - William Ellery Channing
The Serious and the Silly ~ that is what Easter is about!

eas·ter  
/ˈēstər/
Noun
  1. The most important and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Christ and held (in the Western Church)...
  2. The period in which this occurs, esp. the weekend from Good Friday to Easter Monday.



res·ur·rec·tion

  
[rez-uh-rek-shuhn] 
noun
1.
the act of rising from the dead.


What does it mean to "rise" from the dead?
There are so many ways to look at Death.

Is Winter Dead?
What about a pencil; is that dead?
or how about a seed in a package?
What about an idea?

This Season is about the magical, mystery thing we called living between life and death.

Where does our SOUL fit into all this?


Easter Sunday, bring your thoughts and ideas to share in beloved community!

And onto the Silly!
Egg coloring and hunts, 
Bunnies and baskets,

Spring-time fever sillies;
there will most surly be some of this as well this Sunday!


Our 7th UU Principle calls for us to Care for our Earth, 
and our 1st UU Principle says we all are pretty cool, 
our 2nd to have compassion in our interactions, 
so this Easter,
let us care for our Earth and all its creatures -
including our Souls! and be silly and sometimes serious,
and most importantly, 
be compassionate about LIFE!
